Abstract:
The aim of this work is to give a more direct and "geometric" proof of a theorem of Agaoka, that on a reductive homogeneous space $G/K$, every $G$-invariant projective structure admits a $G$-invariant affine connection. This connection can be chosen uniquely, subject to being torsionfree and satisfying one extra condition.References
