Euclidean hypersurfaces with genuine deformations in codimension two

Differential Geometry 2011-06-22 v2

Abstract

We classify hypersurfaces of rank two of Euclidean space Rn+1\R^{n+1} that admit genuine isometric deformations in Rn+2\R^{n+2}. That an isometric immersion f^ ⁣:MnRn+2\hat f\colon\,M^n\to\R^{n+2} is a genuine isometric deformation of a hypersurface f ⁣:MnRn+1f\colon\, M^n\to\R^{n+1} means that f^\hat f is nowhere a composition f^=F^f\hat f=\hat F\circ f, where F^ ⁣:VRn+1Rn+2\hat F\colon\,V\subset \R^{n+1}\to\R^{n+2} is an isometric immersion of an open subset VV containing f(M)f(M).
