Affine complete locally convex hypersurfaces

Neil S. Trudinger and Xu-Jia Wang

Abstract: An open problem in affine geometry is whether an affine complete locally uniformly convex hypersurface in Euclidean (n+1)-space is Euclidean complete for n\geq 2. In this paper we give the affirmative answer. As an application, it follows that an affine complete, affine maximal surface in R3 must be an elliptic paraboloid.
