Differential Geometry
The natural metric on CPn is the Fubini-Study metric, and its isometry group is the projective unitary group PU(n+1), where the stabilizer of a point is
It is a Hermitian symmetric space (Kobayashi & Nomizu 1996), represented as a coset space
The geodesic symmetry at a point p is the unitary transformation that fixes p and is the negative identity on the orthogonal complement of the line represented by p.

Famous quotes containing the words differential and/or geometry:
“But how is one to make a scientist understand that there is something unalterably deranged about differential calculus, quantum theory, or the obscene and so inanely liturgical ordeals of the precession of the equinoxes.”
—Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)
“The geometry of landscape and situation seems to create its own systems of time, the sense of a dynamic element which is cinematising the events of the canvas, translating a posture or ceremony into dynamic terms. The greatest movie of the 20th century is the Mona Lisa, just as the greatest novel is Gray’s Anatomy.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
