Abstract

We deal with hypersurfaces in the framework of the nn-dimensional relative differential geometry. We consider a hypersurface Φ\varPhi of Rn+1\mathbb{R}^{n+1} with position vector field x\mathbf{x}, which is relatively normalized by a relative normalization y\mathbf{y}. Then y\mathbf{y} is also a relative normalization of every member of the one-parameter family F\mathcal{F} of hypersurfaces Φμ\varPhi_\mu with position vector field xμ=x+μy,\mathbf{x}_\mu = \mathbf{x} + \mu \, \mathbf{y}, where μ\mu is a real constant. We call every hypersurface ΦμF\varPhi_\mu \in \mathcal{F} relatively parallel to Φ\varPhi at the "relative distance" μ\mu. In this paper we study (a) the shape (or Weingarten) operator, (b) the relative principal curvatures, (c) the relative mean curvature functions and (d) the affine normalization of a relatively parallel hypersurface (Φμ,y)\left( \varPhi_\mu,\mathbf{y}\right) to (Φ,y)\left(\varPhi,\mathbf{y}\right).
