# Projectively and affinely invariant PDEs on hypersurfaces

## TL;DR

This paper applies a general method to construct invariant PDEs on hypersurfaces in projective and affine spaces, establishing a correspondence with invariant hypersurfaces in a space of trace-free cubic forms.

## Contribution

It extends a previous method to specific homogeneous spaces, providing a classification of invariant PDEs via hypersurfaces in trace-free cubic form spaces.

## Key findings

- Invariant PDEs correspond to hypersurfaces in trace-free cubic form space.
- Provides local descriptions of the invariant PDEs.
- Establishes a one-to-one correspondence between PDEs and hypersurfaces.

## Abstract

In [Alekseevsky, Gutt, Manno, Moreno: "A general method to construct invariant PDEs on homogeneous manifolds", Communications in Contemporary Mathematics (2021)] the authors have developed a method for constructing $G$-invariant PDEs imposed on hypersurfaces of an $(n+1)$-dimensional homogeneous space $G/H$, under mild assumptions on the Lie groups $G$. In the present paper the method is applied to the case when $G=\mathsf{PGL}(n+1)$ or $G=\mathsf{Aff}(n+1)$ and the homogeneous space $G/H$ is the $(n+1)$-dimensional projective $\mathbb{P}^{n+1}$ or affine $\mathbb{A}^{n+1}$ space, respectively. The paper's main result is that projectively or affinely invariant PDEs with $n$ independent and one unknown variables are in one-to-one correspondence with $\mathsf{CO}(d,n-d)$-invariant hypersurfaces of the space of trace-free cubic forms in $n$ variables. Local descriptions are also provided.
