The theory of isoparametric functions and a family of isoparametric hypersurfaces began essentially with E. Cartan in 1930's. He defined a real valued function V defined on a Riemannian space form to be isoparametric if ∥grad υ∥2=TV and ΔV = SV for some real valued functions S, T. Then a family of hypersurfaces Mt, is called isoparametric if Mt,=V-1 (t) where t is a regular value of V.
