In this paper, we study locally strongly convex centroaffine hypersurfaces with parallel cubic form with respect to the Levi-Civita connection of the centroaffine metric. As the main result, we obtain a complete classification of such centroaffine hypersurfaces. The result of this paper is a centroaffine version of the complete classification of locally strongly convex equiaffine hypersurfaces with parallel cubic form due to Hu, Li and Vrancken [12].

Abstract. In this paper, we establish a general inequality for locally strongly convex centroaffine hypersurfaces in R n+1 involving the norm of the covariant derivatives of both the difference tensor K and the Tchebychev vector field T . Our result is optimal in that, applying our recent classification for locally strongly convex centroaffine hypersurfaces with parallel cubic form in [4], we can completely classify the hypersurfaces which realize the equality case of the inequality.

In this paper, we study locally strongly convex affine hyperspheres in the unimodular affine space R n+1 which, as Riemannian manifolds, are locally isometric to the Riemannian product of two Riemannian manifolds both possessing constant sectional curvatures. As the main result, a complete classification of such affine hyperspheres is established. Moreover, as direct consequences, affine hyperspheres of dimensions 3 and 4 with parallel Ricci tensor are also classified.
