A projective connection is a mathematical concept in differential geometry that generalizes the idea of a connection (specifically, an affine connection) on a smooth manifold. While a standard connection allows for parallel transport and defines how vectors are compared at different points, a projective connection focuses on the notion of "parallel transport" that is defined up to reparametrization of curves.
