  1. with G. Manno, V. Matveev, A solution of a problem of Sophus Lie: Normal forms of 2-dimensional metrics admitting two projective vector fields, Mathematische Annalen (to appear)
    (last updated on 2008/01/01)

    Abstract:
    We give a complete list of normal forms for the 2-dimensional metrics that admit a transitive Lie pseudogroup of geodesic-preserving transformations and we show that these normal forms are mutually non-isometric. This solves a problem posed by Sophus Lie.
