The proper Dupin hypersurface conjecture in the four-curvature case
The proper Dupin hypersurface conjecture in the four-curvature case
A compact embedded proper Dupin hypersurface is a compact hypersurface whose principal curvatures are constant along their corresponding curvature surfaces. In the claim below, the hypersurface lies in the unit sphere and has four distinct principal curvatures.
Proper Dupin hypersurface conjecture. Every compact embedded proper Dupin hypersurface in with four distinct principal curvatures is diffeomorphic to
The conjecture is motivated by the fact that the principal orbits of the isotropy representation of provide examples with this diffeomorphism type. The source immediately states that it will prove the conjecture using the truth of the Poincaré conjecture in dimension , so the claim is solved in the paper.
