We consider the problem of deciding whether or not an affine hypersurface of equation f = 0, where f = f(x1, …, xn) is a polynomial in ℝ[x1, …, xn], crosses a bounded region 𝒯 of the real affine space 𝔸n. We perform a local study of the problem, and provide both necessary and sufficient numerical conditions to answer the question. Our conditions are based on the evaluation of f at a point p ∈ 𝒯, and derive from the analysis of the differential geometric properties of the hypersurface z = f(x1, …, xn) at p. We discuss an application of our results in the context of the Hough transform, a pattern recognition technique for the automated recognition of curves in images.

We study affine hypersurfaces [Formula: see text], which have isotropic difference tensor. Note that, any surface always has isotropic difference tensor. In case that the metric is positive definite, such hypersurfaces have been previously studied in [O. Birembaux and M. Djoric, Isotropic affine spheres, Acta Math. Sinica 28(10) 1955–1972.] and [O. Birembaux and L. Vrancken, Isotropic affine hypersurfaces of dimension 5, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 417(2) (2014) 918–962.] We first show that the dimension of an isotropic affine hypersurface is either [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text]. Next, we assume that [Formula: see text] is an affine hypersphere and we obtain for each of the possible dimensions a complete classification.

Let f be a polynomial in n variables over the finite field 𝔽q and Nq(f) denote the number of 𝔽q-rational points on the affine hypersurface f = 0 in 𝔸n(𝔽q). A φ-reduction of f is defined to be a transformation σ : 𝔽q[x1, …, xn] → 𝔽q[x1, …, xn] such that Nq(f) = Nq(σ(f)) and deg f ≥ deg σ(f). In this paper, we investigate φ-reduction by using the degree matrix which is formed by the exponents of the variables of f. With φ-reduction, we may improve various estimates on Nq(f) and utilize the known results for polynomials with low degree. Furthermore, it can be used to find the explicit formula for Nq(f).

On a non-degenerate hypersurface it is well known how to induce an affine connection ∇ and a symmetric bilinear form, called the affine metric. Conversely, given a manifold M and an affine connection ∇ one can ask whether this connection is locally realizable as the induced affine connection on a nondegenerate affine hypersurface and to what extend this immersion is unique. In case that the image of the curvature tensor R of ∇ is 2-dimensional and M is at least 3-dimensional a rigidity theorem was obtained in [4]. In this paper, we discuss positive definite n-dimensional affine hypersurfaces with rank 1 shape operator (which is equivalent with 1-dimensional image of the curvature tensor) which are non-rigid. We show how to construct such affine hypersurfaces using solutions of (n - 1)-dimensional differential equations of Monge–Ampère type.
