On the problem of linearizability of a 3-web

Abstract: In this paper we study the linearizability problem for 3-webs on a 2-dimensional manifold. With an explicit computation based on the theory developed in the paper "On the linearizability of 3-webs" (Nonlinear analysis 47, (2001) pp. 2643-2654), we examine a 3-web whose linearizability was claimed in the same paper. We show that, contrary to the statement of the papers "On the Blaschke conjecture for 3-webs" (arXiv: math.DG/0411460) and "On linearization of planar three-webs and Blaschke's conjecture", (C.R.Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I. vol. 341. num 3 (2005)), this particular web is linearizable. We compute explicitly the affine deformation tensor and the corresponding flat linear connection adapted to the web which linearizes it.

Review text

In this paper the author deals with the linearizability of 3-webs on a two-dimensional differentiable manifold \(M\). He considers the 3-web \(W\) on \(M\), defined by the foliations \(x_1= \text{const.}\), \(x_2= \text{const.}\), \((x_1+ x_2) e^{x_1}= \text{const.}\), gives a method for computing the linearizability criterion and proves that \(W\) is linearizable by finding explicitly the affine deformation tensor and the corresponding flat linear connection.
