The aim of this paper is to verify that the study of generic conformally flat hypersurfaces in 4-dimensional space forms is reduced to a surface theory in the standard 3-sphere. The conformal structure of generic conformally flat…

We consider conformally flat hypersurfaces in four dimensional space forms with their associated Guichard nets and Lam\'e's system of equations. We show that the symmetry group of the Lam\'e's system, satisfying Guichard condition, is given…

We study generic conformally flat (analytic-)hypersurfaces in the Euclidean $4$-space $\mathbb{R}^4$. Such a local-hypersurface is obtained as an evolution of surfaces issuing from a certain surface in $\mathbb{R}^4$, and then, in…

In this article, we first show that for all compact Riemannian manifolds with non-empty smooth boundary and dimension at least 3, there exists a metric, pointwise conformal to the original metric, with constant scalar curvature in the…

All spherically symmetric Riemannian metrics of constant scalar curvature in any dimension can be written down in a simple form using areal coordinates. All spherical metrics are conformally flat, so we search for the conformally flat…

To any metric spaces there is an associated metric profile. The rectifiability of the metric profile gives a good notion of curvature of a sub-Riemannian space. We shall say that a curvature class is the rectifiability class of the metric…

Let G be a n-dimensional Lie group (n>2) with a bi-invariant Riemannian metric. We prove that if a surface of constant Gaussian curvature in G can be expressed as the product of two curves, then it must be flat. In particular, we can…

In this paper, we study generic conformally flat hypersurfaces in the Euclidean $4$-space $\mathbb{R}^4$ using the framework of M\"{o}bius geometry. First, we classify locally the generic conformally flat hypersurfaces with closed M\"obius…

Biharmonic hypersurfaces in a generic conformally flat space are studied in this paper. The equation of such hypersurfaces is derived and is used to determine the conformally flat metric $f^{-2}\delta_{ij}$ on the Euclidean space…
