A differential form (quadratic $ F _ {2} $
or cubic $ F _ {3} $)
on which the construction of projective differential geometry is based. They were introduced by G. Fubini (see [1]).
Let $ x ^ \alpha ( u _ {1} , u _ {2} ) $ be (homogeneous) projective coordinates of a point on a surface with intrinsic coordinates $ u ^ {1} , u ^ {2} $, and let
$$ b _ {ij} = \ ( x ^ \alpha , x _ {1} ^ \alpha ,\ x _ {2} ^ \alpha , x _ {ij} ^ \alpha ) , $$
$$ b _ {ijk} = a _ {ijk} - { \frac{1}{2} } \partial _ {k} b _ {ij} + { \frac{1}{2} } b _ {ij} \partial _ {k} \mathop{\rm ln} \sqrt {| b | } , $$
$$ b = \mathop{\rm det} ( b _ {ij} ) ,\ a _ {ijk} = ( x ^ \alpha , x _ {1} ^ \alpha , x _ {2} ^ \alpha , x _ {ijk} ^ \alpha ) . $$
Then the Fubini forms are defined as follows:
$$ F _ {2} = \ b _ {ij} du ^ {i} \ du ^ {j} | b | ^ {- 1/4} ,\ \ F _ {3} = \ b _ {ijk} du ^ {i} \ du ^ {j} du ^ {k} | b | ^ {- 1/4 }. $$
However, the projective coordinates themselves are not uniquely determined: they admit the introduction of arbitrary multiples and homogeneous linear transformations. Therefore the Fubini forms are defined only up to a factor, and in order to avoid difficulties connected with this one normalizes the coordinates and the forms defined in terms of them. For example, the Fubini forms preserve their value (up to sign) under unimodular projective transformations. The ratio $ F _ {3} /F _ {2} $ is called the projective line element, and is independent of the normalization (and determines the projective metric element).
The Fubini forms that are constructed by metric means, starting from the second fundamental form and the Darboux form (defined by the Darboux tensor),
$$ f _ {2} = \lambda F _ {2} ,\ \ f _ {3} = \lambda F _ {3} , $$
are invariant under equi-affine transformations, and can therefore be used as a basis for equi-affine differential geometry.
