Local geometry of surfaces in R4
Abstract
The indicatrix or curvature ellipse and the characteristic curve of a surface in R4 are presented, as well as the projective duality connecting them. The characterisation of points in the surfaces as elliptic, parabolic and hyperbolic points, and the inflection points, are also discussed.
