Abstract

We study generic conformally flat (analytic-)hypersurfaces in the Euclidean 44-space R4\mathbb{R}^4. Such a local-hypersurface is obtained as an evolution of surfaces issuing from a certain surface in R4\mathbb{R}^4, and then, in consequence, the original surface is a (principal-)curvature surface of the hypersurface. The Poincar\'{e} metric gˇH{\check g}_H of the upper half plane leads to a 66-dimensional set of rational Riemannian metrics g0g_0 of R2\mathbb{R}^2: on a simply connected open set in the regular domain of g0g_0, a curvature surface f0f^0 with the metric g0g_0 is determined, which we denote by (f0,g0)(f^0,g_0). In this paper, we choose a suitable metric g0g_0 of R2\mathbb{R}^2 determined by gˇH{\check g}_H to get nice curvature surfaces (but it also has degenerate and divergent points in R2\mathbb{R}^2), and clarify the structure of the curvature surfaces (f0,g0)(f^0,g_0): the curvature surfaces (f0,g0)(f^0,g_0) extend analytically to what kind of set in R2\mathbb{R}^2 beyond the regular set of g0g_0, and then the extended surface (f0,g0)(f^0,g_0) is defined on a certain open set of R2\mathbb{R}^2 and bounded in R4\mathbb{R}^4; for the extended surface (f0,g0)(f^0,g_0), we explicitly catch the set of degenerate points and the limits in R4\mathbb{R}^4 of both ends of every principal curvature line, and then the two limits of every line for one principal curvature are parallel small circles in a standard 22-sphere S2\mathbb{S}^2. Then, every principal curvature line in the extended surface (f0,g0)(f^0,g_0) is expressed by a frame field of R4\mathbb{R}^4 induced on the surface from a hypersurface and it lies on a standard 22-sphere S2\mathbb{S}^2 with line-dependent radius. We also provide a general method of constructing an approximation of such frame fields, and obtain the entire pictures of those lines including degenerate points of (f0,g0)(f^0,g_0).
