Extract
This paper derives some sufficient conditions for the global validity of projective relativity theory. The basic object of study is the infinitesimal bundle, which is a generalization of a principal circle bundle. A method ofconstructing infinitesimal bundles is developed. The main result is that ifspacetime is non-compact and simply connected, and has a finite homology basis, then projective relativity is globally valid.
