Projective invariant metrics and open convex regular cones. I

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

In this work we give a characterization of the projective invariant pseudometric P , introduced by H. Wu, for a particular class of real 𝐂 -manifolds; in view of this result, we study the group of projective transformations for the same class of manifolds and we determine the integrated pseudodistance p of P in open convex regular cones of n , endowed with the characteristic metric.

Projective invariant metrics and open convex regular cones. II

Fabio Podestà (1987)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

The aim of this work, which continues Part I with the same title, is to study a class of projective transformations of open, convex, regular cones in n and to prove a structure theorem for affine transformations of a restricted class of cones; we conclude with a version of the Schwarz Lemma holding for affine transformations.

Projective relatedness and conformal flatness

Graham Hall (2012)

Open Mathematics

This paper discusses the connection between projective relatedness and conformal flatness for 4-dimensional manifolds admitting a metric of signature (+,+,+,+) or (+,+,+,−). It is shown that if one of the manifolds is conformally flat and not of the most general holonomy type for that signature then, in general, the connections of the manifolds involved are the same and the second manifold is also conformally flat. Counterexamples are provided which place limitations on the potential strengthening...
