Affine manifold with measure preserving projective holonomy groups

Kyeongsu Park

Jeonju University

Abstract

In this paper, we prove that an affine manifold $M$ is finitely covered by a manifold $\bar M$ where $\bar M$ is radiant or the tangent bundle of $\bar M$ has a conformally flat vector subbundle if the projective holonomy group of $M$ admits an invariant probability Borel measure. This implies that $\chi(M)$ is zero.

Keywords: affine manifold, invariant measure, Euler characteristic
