The paper studies new curvature properties in Finsler geometry.

We present a uniform framework generalising and extending the classical theories of projective differential geometry, c-projective geometry, and almost quaternionic geometry. Such geometries, which we call \emph{projective parabolic geometries}, are abelian parabolic geometries whose flat model is an R-space $G\cdot\ma…

Study on the limits of projective special real manifolds and their symmetries.

This paper combines two classical theories, namely metric projective differential geometry and superintegrability. We study superintegrable systems on 2-dimensional geometries that share the same geodesics, viewed as unparametrized curves. We give a definition of projective equivalence of such systems, which may be con…

We develop in detail the theory of c-projective geometry, a natural analogue of projective differential geometry adapted to complex manifolds. We realise it as a type of parabolic geometry and describe the associated Cartan or tractor connection. A Kaehler manifold gives rise to a c-projective structure and this is one…

Classifies holomorphic parabolic geometries on complex manifolds.

We highlight the relation between the projective geometries of $n$-dimensional Euclidean, spherical and hyperbolic spaces through the projective models of these spaces in the $n+1$-dimensional Minkowski space, using a cross ratio notion which is proper to each of the three geometries.

We prove rigidity of various types of holomorphic parabolic geometry on smooth complex projective varieties.

The paper explores projective structures on curves and their applications in conformal geometry.

Weil-Petersson volumes vary continuously with weighted points on a projective line.

We use reduced homogeneous coordinates to study Riemannian geometry of the octonionic (or Cayley) projective plane. Our method extends to the para-octonionic (or split octonionic) projective plane, the octonionic projective plane of indefinite signature, and the hyperbolic dual of the octonionic projective plane; we di…

The study connects surface geometry in 5D to 4D projections and umbilic curvatures.

We discuss eight new(?) configuration theorems of classical projective geometry in the spirit of the Pappus and Pascal theorems.

A projective geometry is an equivalence class of torsion free connections sharing the same unparametrised geodesics; this is a basic structure for understanding physical systems. Metric projective geometry is concerned with the interaction of projective and pseudo-Riemannian geometry. We show that the BGG machinery of …

This thesis details the results of four interrelated projects. The first of these presents a new proof of the theorem of Cooper, Danciger and Wienhard classifying the limits under conjugacy of the orthogonal groups in GL(n; R). The second provides a detailed investigation into Heisenberg geometry, which is the maximall…

We use the general theory developed in our article arXiv:1208.5510 in the setting of parabolic geometries to reprove known results on special infinitesimal automorphisms of projective and conformal geometries.

New proof of four squares theorem using projective geometry.

The abstract discusses financial irreversibility using quantum mechanics and projective geometry.

Survey on minimal rational curves and their geometric structures.

A theorem of Lawson and Simons states that the only stable minimal submanifolds in complex projective spaces are complex submanifolds. We generalize their result to the cases of quaternionic and octonionic projective spaces. Our approach gives a unified viewpoint towards conformal and projective geometries.

Here, a non-linear analysis method is applied rather than classical one to study projective Finsler geometry. More intuitively, by means of an inequality on Ricci-Finsler curvature, a projectively invariant pseudo-distance is introduced and an analogous of Schwarz' lemma in Finsler geometry is proved. Next, the Schwarz…

The paper describes hyperkähler geometry of cotangent bundles using rank-1 projections.

We prove that the only Calabi--Yau projective manifolds which bear holomorphic Cartan geometries are precisely the abelian varieties. (Nous démontrons que les seules variétés projectives de Calabi--Yau qui possèdent des géométrie holomorphes de Cartan sont les variétés abéliennes.)

Weyl-type theorems extended to Galilei and Carroll geometries.

The paper is grown from the lecture course "Metric projective geometry" which I hold at the summer school "Finsler geometry with applications" at Karlovassi, Samos, in 2014, and at the workshop before the 8th seminar on Geometry and Topology of the Iranian Mathematical society at the Amirkabir University of Technology …

Study on volumes of random inscribed polytopes in projective geometries.

The aim of the present paper is to provide an intrinsic investigation of projective changes in Finlser geometry, following the pullback formalism. Various known local results are generalized and other new intrinsic results are obtained. Nontrivial characterizations of projective changes are given. The fundamental proje…

Study shows special Kähler geometry on base of holomorphic Lagrangian fibrations implies projective space.

Study of free particle's geometry and its perturbations using complex projective structures.

We show that the standard definitions of Sasaki structures have elegant and simplifying interpretations in terms of projective differential geometry. For Sasaki-Einstein structures we use projective geometry to provide a resolution of such structures into geometrically less rigid components; the latter elemental compon…

The "dancing metric" is a pseudo-riemannian metric $\pmb{g}$ of signature $(2,2)$ on the space $M^4$ of non-incident point-line pairs in the real projective plane $\mathbb{RP}^2$. The null-curves of $(M^4,\pmb{g})$ are given by the "dancing condition": the point is moving towards a point on the line, about which the li…

Develops a universal Hermitian projective calculus for complex hyperbolic two-space

New framework uses elliptic operators to study projective maps.

A geometric transition is a continuous path of geometric structures that changes type, meaning that the model geometry, i.e. the homogeneous space on which the structures are modeled, abruptly changes. In order to rigorously study transitions, one must define a notion of geometric limit at the level of homogeneous spac…

Contact projective structures have been profoundly studied by D.J.F. Fox. He associated to a contact projective structure a canonical projective structure on the same manifold. We interpret Fox' construction in terms of the equivalent parabolic (Cartan) geometries, showing that it is an analog of Fefferman's constructi…

These are lecture notes on the rigidity of submanifolds of projective space "resembling" compact Hermitian symmetric spaces in their homogeneous embeddings. Recent results are surveyed, along with their classical predecessors. The notes include an introduction to moving frames in projective geometry, an exposition of t…
