Abstract: Equivalences under the affine group $\mathrm{Aff}(\mathbb{R}^3)$ of constant Hessian rank $1$ surfaces $S^2 \subset \mathbb{R}^3$, sometimes called parabolic, were, among other objects, studied by Doubrov, Komrakov, Rabinovich, Eastwood, Ezhov, Olver, Chen, Merker, Arnaldsson, Valiquette. In particular, homogeneous models and algebras of differential invariants in various branches were fully understood.
Then what is about higher dimensions? We consider hypersurfaces $H^n \subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ graphed as $\big\{ u = F(x_1, \dots, x_n) \big\}$ whose Hessian matrix $\big( F_{x_i x_j} \big)$, a relative affine invariant, is similarly of constant rank $1$. Are there homogeneous models?
Complete explorations were done by the author on a computer in dimensions $n = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7$. The first, expected outcome, was a complete classification of homogeneous models in dimensions $n = 2, 3, 4$ (forthcoming article, case $n = 2$ already known). The second, unexpected outcome, was that in dimensions $n = 5, 6, 7$, there are no affinely homogenous models except those that are affinely equivalent to a product of $\mathbb{R}^m$ with a homogeneous model in dimensions $2, 3, 4$.
The present article establishes such a non-existence result in every dimension $n \geqslant 5$, based on the production of a normal form for $\big\{ u = F(x_1, \dots, x_n) \big\}$, under $\mathrm{Aff}(\mathbb{R}^{n+1})$ up to order $\leqslant n+5$, valid in any dimension $n \geqslant 2$.
Keywords: Affine homogeneity, Normal forms, tangential vector fields.
