Metrisability of two-dimensional projective structures
From MaRDI portal
(Redirected from Publication:2269709)
Abstract: We carry out the programme of R. Liouville cite{Liouville} to construct an explicit local obstruction to the existence of a Levi--Civita connection within a given projective structure on a surface. The obstruction is of order 5 in the components of a connection in a projective class. It can be expressed as a point invariant for a second order ODE whose integral curves are the geodesics of or as a weighted scalar projective invariant of the projective class. If the obstruction vanishes we find the sufficient conditions for the existence of a metric in the real analytic case. In the generic case they are expressed by the vanishing of two invariants of order 6 in the connection. In degenerate cases the sufficient obstruction is of order at most 8.
