Holonomy and Projective Equivalence in 4-Dimensional Lorentz Manifolds⋆
A study is made of 4-dimensional Lorentz manifolds which are projectively related, that is, whose Levi-Civita connections give rise to the same (unparameterised) geodesics. A brief review of some relevant recent work is provided and a list of new results connecting projective relatedness and the holonomy type of the Lorentz manifold in question is given. This necessitates a review of the possib...
متن کاملHolonomy Theory and 4-dimensional Lorentz Manifolds
This lecture describes the holonomy group for a 4-dimensional Hausdorff, connected and simply connected manifold admitting a Lorentz metric and shows, briefly, some applications to Einstein’s space-time of general relativity. 1. Holonomy Theory on 4-Dimensional Lorentz Manifolds. Let M be a 4-dimensional, smooth, Hausdorff, connected, and simply connected manifold admitting a smooth Lorentz met...
متن کاملHolonomy and four-dimensional manifolds
This paper investigates the relationship between two fundamental types of objects associated with a connection on a manifold: the existence of parallel semi-Riemannian metrics and the associated holonomy group. Typically in Riemannian geometry, a metric is specified which determines a Levi-Civita connection. Here we consider the connection as more fundamental and allow for the possibility of se...
متن کاملCharacterization of projective Finsler manifolds of constant curvature having infinite dimensional holonomy group
In this paper we prove that the holonomy group of a simply connected locally projectively flat Finsler manifold of constant curvature is a finite dimensional Lie group if and only if it is flat or it is Riemannian. In particular, the holonomy group of non-Riemannian projective Finsler manifolds of nonzero constant curvature is infinite dimensional.

The aim of this paper and its sequel is to introduce and classify the holonomy algebras of the projective Tractor connection. After a brief historical background, this paper presents and analyses the projective Cartan and Tractor connections, the various structures they can preserve, and their geometric interpretations. Preserved subbundles of the Tractor bundle generate foliations with Ricci-f...
