A solution of a problem of Sophus Lie: normal forms of two-dimensional metrics admitting two projective vector fields

TLDR
In this article, a complete list of normal forms for the two-dimensional metrics that admit a transitive Lie pseudogroup of geodesic-preserving transformations is given, and it is shown that these normal forms are mutually non-isometric.
Abstract
We give a complete list of normal forms for the two-dimensional metrics that admit a transitive Lie pseudogroup of geodesic-preserving transformations and we show that these normal forms are mutually non-isometric. This solves a problem posed by Sophus Lie.

Proof of the Projective Lichnerowicz Conjecture for Pseudo-Riemannian Metrics with Degree of Mobility Greater than Two

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that a complete manifold admitting an essential group of projective transformations is the standard round sphere (up to a finite cover and multiplication of the metric by a constant).
