They derive the inequality  \\[  \\varepsilon _M \\geq -{\\textstyle{\\frac{n^2(n-2)}{2(n-1)}}}h(T^{\\# },T^{\\# }) + {\\textstyle{\\frac{1}{2}}}(n+1)(n-2), \\tag{*}  \\]  where \\(h\\) is a positive definite metric and \\(T^{\\# }\\) the Tschebychev field. The class of hypersurfaces satisfying the equality in (*) is a very wide one. They prove that this class consists a proper affine hyperspheres centered at the origin. Using some distribution \\(D\\) on such hypersurfaces, the authors obtain classification theorems under the additional assumption that either \\(M^n\\) has constant scalar curvature or the distribution \\(D^{\\perp }\\) is integrable. Examples related to equiaffine elliptic spheres in \\({\\mathbb R}^3\\), realizing the equality in (*) are also given.    Some results about polarization and asymptotic spectral invariants of second order Laplace type operators are related to the previously mentioned results."},"provenance":{"prov:generatedAtTime":"2025-12-25T22:03:13Z","prov:wasAttributedTo":"MaRDI Knowledge Graph"}}
