Abstract
By Hartman--Nirenberg's theorem, any complete flat hypersurface in Euclidean space must be a cylinder over a plane curve. However, if we admit some singularities, there are many non-trivial examples. Flat fronts are flat hypersurfaces with admissible singularities. Murata--Umehara gave a representation formula for complete flat fronts with non-empty singular set in Euclidean -space, and proved the four vertex type theorem. In this paper, we prove that, unlike the case of , there do not exist any complete flat fronts with non-empty singular set in Euclidean -space .
