Abstract:
For (positive) definite surfaces in there is a canonical choice of a centroaffine normal plane bundle, which induces a centroaffine invariant Ricci-symmetric connection . We classify all surfaces in with planar -geodesics. It turns out that the resulting class of surfaces is umbilical with projectively flat induced connection and flat normal plane bundle.
