A new higher-dimensional generalization of the Schwarzian derivative
Description
A new formula for the multi-dimensional Schwarzian derivative on a locally projective manifold is introduced. This derivative is a 1-cocycle on the group of diffeomorphisms with values in the space of linear differential operators acting from (symmetric contravariant) twice-tensor fields to functions.
