The projective Lichnerowicz–Obata conjecture
The projective Lichnerowicz–Obata conjecture
Let be a complete connected or closed connected semi-Riemannian manifold, and let be a connected Lie group acting on by projective transformations.
Projective Lichnerowicz–Obata conjecture. Either acts on by affine transformations, or is Riemannian with positive constant sectional curvature.
This conjecture is a global rigidity statement for projective transformation groups of semi-Riemannian manifolds. The supplied source does not indicate whether it has been resolved.
