The complete classification of a class of conformally flat Lorentzian hypersurfaces in ℝ14

Abstract

A three-dimensional Lorentzian hypersurface [Formula: see text] is called conformally flat if its induced metric is conformal to the flat Lorentzian metric, this property is preserved under the conformal transformation of [Formula: see text]. In this paper, using the projective light-cone model, we give a complete classification of those ones whose shape operators have two distinct real eigenvalues and cannot be diagonalizable. These hypersurfaces are conformal equivalent to cones, cylinders, or rotational hypersurfaces generated by B-scrolls (over null Frenet curves) in three-dimensional Lorentzian space forms.
