Notes on Projective Differential Geometry
Projective differential geometry was initiated in the 1920s, especially by Élie Cartan and Tracey Thomas. Nowadays, the subject is not so well-known. These notes aim to remedy this deficit and present several reasons why this should be done at this time. The deeper underlying reason is that projective differential geometry provides the most basic application of what has come to be known as the ...
متن کاملDifferential Geometry of Submanifolds of Projective Space
These are lecture notes on the rigidity of submanifolds of projective space “resembling” compact Hermitian symmetric spaces in their homogeneous embeddings. The results of [16, 20, 29, 18, 19, 10, 31] are surveyed, along with their classical predecessors. The notes include an introduction to moving frames in projective geometry, an exposition of the Hwang-Yamaguchi ridgidity theorem and a new v...
متن کاملDifferential Invariants of Conformal and Projective Surfaces
We show that, for both the conformal and projective groups, all the differential invariants of a generic surface in three-dimensional space can be written as combinations of the invariant derivatives of a single differential invariant. The proof is based on the equivariant method of moving frames.
متن کاملMetric Connections in Projective Differential Geometry
We search for Riemannian metrics whose Levi-Civita connection belongs to a given projective class. Following Sinjukov and Mikeš, we show that such metrics correspond precisely to suitably positive solutions of a certain projectively invariant finite-type linear system of partial differential equations. Prolonging this system, we may reformulate these equations as defining covariant constant sec...
متن کاملDifferential geometry of curves and surfaces
These are two books that together in a pair are intended to bring the reader through classical differential geometry of curves and surfaces into the modern differential geometry of manifolds. The first book, Differential Geometry of Curves and Surfaces, by Thomas Banchoff and Stephen Lovett, offers a complete guide for the study of classical theory of curves and surfaces and is intended as a te...
