Extract

The aim of this paper is to prove the following

THEOREM. Let M be a C∞ compact and strictly convex surface embedded in the euclidean space E3 or in the hyperbolic space H3. We suppose that all shadow-lines ofM are congruent. Then M is a euclidean 2-sphere or a hyperbolic 2-sphere respectively.
