Abstract
We generalize the following classical result of Fubini for pseudo-Riemannian metrics: if three essentially different metrics on share the same unparametrized geodesics, and two of them (say, and ) are strictly nonproportional (i.e., the minimal polynomial of coincides with the characteristic polynomial) at least at one point, then they have constant curvature.
