The centroaffine theorema egregium χ = J − n n−1 G(T, T ) + 1 is a fundamental scalar identity in the centroaffine differential geometry for nondegenerate hypersurface immersions. Here n is the dimension of the hypersurface, χ the normalized scalar curvature of the centroaffine metric G, J the Pick invariant and T the centroaffine Tchebychev vector field. In this paper we study non-degenerate centroaffine translation surfaces in affine 3-space R 3 where one of the three summands in the centroaffine theorema egregium is constant, and then give the classifications by solving certain partial differential equations.
