Translation surfaces in affine 3-space

Abstract

In this paper, we study translation surfaces in three dimensional affine space. We characterize the finite type non-degenerate translation surfaces with respect to the first affine and the second affine fundamental forms.

Keywords

• Affine space
• Laplace operator
• translation surfaces
