Untersuchungen �ber geod�tische Curven

Abstract: In der nachstehenden Abhandlung behandle ich ein allgemeines Problem, das sich auf die geod~tischen Curven der Fl~ichen bezieht. Dasselbe steht in einem gewissen Zusammenhange mit einigen schSnen Untersuchungen yon Beltrami (Annali di matematica Serie I, t. VH) und' yon Dini (Annali die matematica, Serie lI, t. III), welche ich zun~ichst besprechen werde.B e 1 tra m i machte zuerst darauf aufmerksam, dass die geod~tischen Curven einer Fl~iche constanter Kriimmung sich immer dars~llen lassen durch eine solche G… Show more

We give a complete list of mutually non-diffeomorphic normal forms for the two-dimensional metrics that admit one essential (i.e., non-homothetic) projective vector field. This revises some results in [25] and extends the results of [10,25], solving a problem posed by Sophus Lie in 1882 [22].

“…Note that Theorems 2 and 3 constitute corrections of two results found in [25], namely Theorems 2 and 3 of this reference. As a by-product of the proof of Theorem 4, we also obtain a classification of all projective classes that cover metrics with exactly one, projective vector field that is essential (as stated above, [25] provides only a description of such classes, not a classification, see Section 2.1 for more details).For the formulation of the main results, we need the following proposition.1 German original [22]: "Es wird verlangt, die Form des Bogenelementes einer jeden Fläche zu bestimmen, deren geodätische Curven eine infinitesimale Transformation gestatten." 2 In the current context, we use Proposition 1 to describe a pair of projectively equivalent metrics that serve as "generators", via Formula (6) below, of their projective class.…”

“…Then, taking into consideration that dim E = 3, in view of Theorem 5, we conclude that E must have constant Gaussian curvature. In fact, a classical result of projective geometry states that the dimension of the algebra of projective vector fields on a 2-dimensional Riemannian manifold can be 1, 2, 3, or 8, where the maximal dimension is attained just in the case of constant Gaussian curvature (see, for instance, [21,22]). Now let us suppose that E has constant Gaussian curvature.…”
