Projectivity that keeps Euclidean distance invariant

128 Views Asked by At

It is known that in projective transformations the distance does not have to remain invariant as it occurs in Euclidean Geometry with isometries.

However, I have found an article called Geometries of the projective matrix space (see https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/82526440.pdf), in which he points out :"The projectivity S keeps the Euclidean distance invariant if and only if the corresponding matrices Y are of the form where s # 0 is an arbitrary complex number". This contrasts with what was said in How to define a "distance" from point to line in 3D projective space which is projectively invariant? My question is: is it possible to find a projectivity in some plane or projective space that keeps the Euclidean distance invariant? Where can I find an article about it, in addition to the one already mentioned? Thank you so much.
