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 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 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 Geometry of Submanifolds of Projective Space: Rough Draft
• Introduction to the local differential geometry of submanifolds of projective space • Introduction to moving frames for projective geometry • How much must a submanifold X ⊂ PN resemble a given submanifold Z ⊂ PM infinitesimally before we can conclude X ≃ Z? • To what order must a line field on a submanifold X ⊂ PN have contact with X before we can conclude the lines are contained in X? • App...
متن کاملProjective Geometry Considered Harmful
Methods based on projective geometry have become popular in machine vision because they lead to elegant mathematics, and easy-to-solve linear equations [Longuett-Higgins 81, Hartley 97a, Quan & Lan 99]. It is often not realized that one pays a heavy price for this. Such method do not correctly model the physics of image formation and as a result require more correspondences and are considerably...
