On the problem of linearizability of a 3-web

Zoltan Muzsnay

Published 2006-02-23Version 1

In this paper we study the linearizability problem for 3-webs on a 2-dimensional manifold. With an explicit computation based on the theory developed in the paper "On the linearizability of 3-webs" (Nonlinear analysis 47, (2001) pp. 2643-2654), we examine a 3-web whose linearizability was claimed in the same paper. We show that, contrary to the statement of the papers "On the Blaschke conjecture for 3-webs" (arXiv: math.DG/0411460) and "On linearization of planar three-webs and Blaschke's conjecture", (C.R.Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I. vol. 341. num 3 (2005)), this particular web is linearizable. We compute explicitly the affine deformation tensor and the corresponding flat linear connection adapted to the web which linearizes it.
