Dupin hypersurface

In differential geometry, a Dupin hypersurface is a submanifold in a space form, whose principal curvatures have globally constant multiplicities.^[1]

Application

A hypersurface is called a Dupin hypersurface if the multiplicity of each principal curvature is constant on hypersurface and each principal curvature is constant along its associated principal directions.^[2] All proper Dupin submanifolds arise as focal submanifolds of proper Dupin hypersurfaces.^[3]
