  • Suppose that M is a strictly convex hypersurface in the (n + 1)-dimensional Euclidean space 𝔼n+1 with the origin o in its convex side and with the outward unit normal N. For a fixed point p ∈ M and a positive constant t, we put 𝚽t the hyperplane parallel to the tangent hyperplane 𝚽 at p and passing through the point q = p - tN(p). We consider the region cut from M by the parallel hyperplane 𝚽t, and denote by Ip(t) the (n + 1)-dimensional volume of the convex hull of the region and the origin o. Then Schneider's characterization theorem for ellipsoids states that among centrally symmetric, strictly convex and closed surfaces in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space 𝔼3, the ellipsoids are the only ones satisfying Ip(t) = 𝜙(p)t, where 𝜙 is a function defined on M. Recently, the characterization theorem was extended to centrally symmetric, strictly convex and closed hypersurfaces in 𝔼n+1 satisfying for a constant 𝛽, Ip(t) = 𝜙(p)t𝛽. In this paper, we study the volume Ip(t) of a strictly convex and complete hypersurface in 𝔼n+1 with the origin o in its convex side. As a result, first of all we extend the characterization theorem to strictly convex and closed (not necessarily centrally symmetric) hypersurfaces in 𝔼n+1 satisfying Ip(t) = 𝜙(p)t𝛽. After that we generalize the characterization theorem to strictly convex and complete (not necessarily closed) hypersurfaces in 𝔼n+1 satisfying Ip(t) = 𝜙(p)t𝛽.

  • After introducing Tropical Algebraic Varieties, we give a polyhedral description of tropical hypersurfaces. Using TOPCOM and GAP, we show that there exist 59 types of two dimensional tropical quadric surfaces. We also show a criterion for a quadric hypersurface to be non-degenerate in terms of a tropical rank.

  • Our study focuses on the condition under which a subspace of complex projective space can become an Einstein space. We prove that a subspace becomes an Einstein space if it's codimension is less than n-1 and its curvature tensor and Ricci tensor satisfies Ryan's condition.
