Gheorghe Titeica and the Origins of Affine Differential Geometry (2009)

unapi

We describe the historical and ideological context that brought to the fore the study of a centro-affine invariant that subsequently received much attention. The invariant was introduced by Titeica in 1907, and this discovery has been viewed by many as a consequence of Klein's Erlangen program. We thus present the starting point of affine differential geometry, as it was discovered by Titeica after his years in the Ph.D. program in Paris (1896--1899) under the guidance of Gaston Darboux.
