60 Metrisability in 2D A projective structure on an open set U R 2 is an equivalence class of torsion free connections [Γ]. Two connections Γ and ˆΓ are equivalent if they share the same unparametrised geodesics. ˆΓ k ij = Γ k ij + δ i k ω j + δ j k ω i, i, j, k = 1, 2. for some one form ω = ω i dx i. Projective connection (T. Y. Thomas) Π k ij = Γk ij 1 3 Γl li δk j 1 3 Γl lj δk i. Geodesics of a generic projective structures are not unparametrised geodesics of any metrics. The necessary and sufficient conditions for metrisability have recently been found (Bryant, MD, Eastwood, 09). Construct a signature signature (2, 2) metric on T U g = dz i dx i Π k ij(x) z k dx i dx j, i, j, k = 1, 2. Walker (1953), Yano Ishihara,.... Theorem.The metric g is conformal to (para) Kähler iff the projective structure is metrisable. Dunajski (DAMTP, Cambridge) Conformal to Kahler April / 13
