Abstract
Let f be a smooth strictly convex solution of
defined on \({\mathbb {R}}^n\), where \(\alpha \) is a nonzero constant, and \((a_1,a_2,\ldots ,a_{n+1})\) is a constant vector in \({{\mathbb {R}}}^{n+1}\). Then the graph hypersurface \(M=\{(x, f(x))\}\) in \({{\mathbb {R}}}^{n+1}\) is an \(\alpha \)-relative parabolic affine hypersphere in Li-geometry. In this paper, we will extend a celebrated theorem of Jörgens–Calabi–Pogorelov in Blaschke geometry to Li-geometry. We classify Euclidean complete \(\alpha \)-relative parabolic affine hyperspheres and show that any smooth strictly convex entire solution of the above PDE with \(\alpha \notin [\frac{n+2}{n+1}, n+2]\) must be a quadratic polynomial.
