  • 1. Keio Univ., Yokohama (Japan). Faculty of Science and Technology

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.
