Abstract

In this paper we classify Euclidean hypersurfaces f ⁣:MnRn+1f\colon M^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{n+1} with a principal curvature of multiplicity n2n-2 that admit a genuine conformal deformation f~ ⁣:MnRn+2\tilde{f}\colon M^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{n+2}. That f~ ⁣:MnRn+2\tilde{f}\colon M^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{n+2} is a genuine conformal deformation of ff means that it is a conformal immersion for which there exists no open subset UMnU \subset M^n such that the restriction f~U\tilde{f}|_U is a composition f~U=hfU\tilde f|_U=h\circ f|_U of fUf|_U with a conformal immersion h ⁣:VRn+2h\colon V\to \mathbb{R}^{n+2} of an open subset VRn+1V\subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1} containing f(U)f(U).
