The main purpose of this paper is to complete the work initiated by Sbrana in 1909 giving a complete local classification of the nonflat infinitesimally bendable hypersurfaces in Euclidean space.

In the realm of conformal geometry, we give a classification of the Euclidean hypersurfaces that admit a non-trivial conformal infinitesimal variation. In the restricted case of conformal variations, such a classification was obtained by E. Cartan in 1917. The case of infinitesimal isometric variations was done by U. Sbrana in 1908. In particular, we show that the class of hypersurfaces that allow a conformal infinitesimal variation is much larger than the one considered by Cartan.
A Ricci soliton $(M,g,v,lambda)$ on a Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ is said to have concurrent potential field if its potential field $v$ is a concurrent vector field. Ricci solitons arisen from concurrent vector fields on Riemannian manifolds were studied recently in cite{CD2}. The most important concurrent vector field is the position vector field on Euclidean submanifolds. In this paper we completely classify Ricci solitons on Euclidean hypersurfaces arisen from the position vector field of the hypersurfaces.
In this paper we classify Euclidean hypersurfaces $fcolon M^n rightarrow mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ with a principal curvature of multiplicity $n-2$ that admit a genuine conformal deformation $tilde{f}colon M^n rightarrow mathbb{R}^{n+2}$. That $tilde{f}colon M^n rightarrow mathbb{R}^{n+2}$ is a genuine conformal deformation of $f$ means that it is a conformal immersion for which there exists no open subset $U subset M^n$ such that the restriction $tilde{f}|_U$ is a composition $tilde f|_U=hcirc f|_U$ of $f|_U$ with a conformal immersion $hcolon Vto mathbb{R}^{n+2}$ of an open subset $Vsubset mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ containing $f(U)$.
We classify the hypersurfaces of Euclidean space that carry a totally geodesic foliation with complete leaves of codimension one. In particular, we show that rotation hypersurfaces with complete profiles of codimension one are characterized by their warped product structure. The local version of the problem is also considered.
We address the problem of determining the hypersurfaces $fcolon M^{n} to mathbb{Q}_s^{n+1}(c)$ with dimension $ngeq 3$ of a pseudo-Riemannian space form of dimension $n+1$, constant curvature $c$ and index $sin {0, 1}$ for which there exists another isometric immersion $tilde{f}colon M^{n} to mathbb{Q}^{n+1}_{tilde s}(tilde{c})$ with $tilde{c} eq c$. For $ngeq 4$, we provide a complete solution by extending results for $s=0=tilde s$ by do Carmo and Dajczer and by Dajczer and the second author. Our main results are for the most interesting case $n=3$, and these are new even in the Riemannian case $s=0=tilde s$. In particular, we characterize the solutions that have dimension $n=3$ and three distinct principal curvatures. We show that these are closely related to conformally flat hypersurfaces of $mathbb{Q}_s^{4}(c)$ with three distinct principal curvatures, and we obtain a similar characterization of the latter that improves a theorem by Hertrich-Jeromin. We also derive a Ribaucour transformation for both classes of hypersurfaces, which gives a process to produce a family of new elements of those classes, starting from a given one, in terms of solutions of a linear system of PDEs. This enables us to construct explicit examples of three-dimensional solutions of the problem, as well as new explicit examples of three-dimensional conformally flat hypersurfaces that have three distinct principal curvatures.
