Isoparametric and Dupin Hypersurfaces
A hypersurface $M^{n−1}$ in a real space-form $R^n$, $S^n$ or $H^n$ is isoparametric if it has constant principal curvatures. For $R^n$ and $H^n$, the classification of isoparametric hypersurfaces is complete and relatively simple, but as Élie Cartan showed in a series of four papers in 1938-1940, t...
