Left invariant flat projective structures on Lie groups and prehomogeneous vector spaces

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We show the correspondence between left invariant flat projective structures on Lie groups and certain prehomogeneous vector spaces. Moreover by using the classification theory of prehomogeneous vector spaces, we classify complex Lie groups admitting irreducible left invariant flat complex projective structures. As a result, direct sums of special linear Lie algebras sl(2) oplus sl(m_1) oplus cdots oplus sl(m_k) admit left invariant flat complex projective structures if the equality 4 + m_1^2 + cdots + m_k^2 -k - 4 m_1 m_2 cdots m_k = 0 holds. These contain sl(2), sl(2) oplus sl(3)$, sl(2) oplus sl(3) oplus sl(11) for example.
