Review text

The paper is devoted to the problem of determining \(5\)-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian manifolds \((M,g)\) admitting projective motions (\(h\)-spaces). A similar problem for \(n\)-dimensional proper Riemannian and Lorentz spaces was solved by Levi-Civita, Solodovnikov, Petrov and Aminova. For pseudo-Riemanian manifolds of arbitrary signature and dimension the problem of their classification in Lie algebras and Lie groups of projective transformations, set more than a hundred years ago, is still open. In the present paper, five-dimensional \(h\)-spaces of the type \(\{221\}\) are determined using the method of skew-normal frame and necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of projective motions of the same type are established.
