A classical theorem of Laguerre geometry states that M(n > 3) is characterized by g and B up to Laguerre equivalence. A Laguerre isopararmetric hypersurface is defined by satisfying the conditions that C = 0 and all the eigenvalues of B with respect to g are constant. It is easy to see that all Laguerre isopararmetric hypersurfaces are Dupin hypersurfaces. In this paper, we established a complete classification for all Laguerre isopararmetric hypersurfaces with three distinct principal curvatures in R7.展开更多
