Abstract

We describe the geometric structures of the lines of principal curvature and the partially umbilic singularities of the three-dimensional non compact generic quadric hypersurfaces of R4. This includes the ellipsoidal hyperboloids of one and two sheets and the toroidal hyperboloids. The present study complements the analysis of the compact ellipsoidal hypersurfaces carried out in [9].
