Abstract
By using a projective connection over the space of two-dimensional affine connections, we are able to show that the metric interaction of Polyakov two-dimensional gravity with a coadjoint element arises naturally through the projective Ricci tensor. Through the curvature invariants of Thomas and Whitehead, we are able to define an action that could describe dynamics to the projective connection. We discuss implications of the projective connection in higher dimensions as related to gravitation.
