We give a complete list of mutually non-diffeomorphic normal forms for the two-dimensional metrics that admit one essential (i.e., non-homothetic) projective vector field. This revises a result from the literature and extends the results of…

We give a complete list of two-dimensional metrics that admit an essential projective vector field. This solves a problem explicitly posed by Sophus Lie in 1882.

Projective vector fields are the infinitesimal transformations whose local flow preserves geodesics up to reparametrisation. In 1882 Sophus Lie posed the problem of describing 2-dimensional metrics admitting a non-trivial projective vector…

We discuss pseudo-Riemannian metrics on 2-dimensional manifolds such that the geodesic flow admits a nontrivial integral quadratic in velocities. We construct local normal forms of such metrics. We show that these metrics have certain…

Let us call pseudo-homothetic group the non-unimodular 3-dimensional Lie group that is the semi-direct product of $\mathbb{R}$ acting non-semisimply on $\mathbb{R}^2$. In this article, we solve the geodesic completeness problem on this Lie…

Projective connections arise from equivalence classes of affine connections under the reparametrization of geodesics. They may also be viewed as quotient systems of the classical geodesic equation. After studying the link between integrals…
