Abstract
Parallel transport of line elements, surface elements etc. along geodesies and more general curves in a projectively connected manifold is investigated analytically and in terms of geometrical constructions. Projective curvature is characterized geometrically by a projective analogue of the geodesic deviation equation and by a geometrical construction. The results are interpreted physically as statements about free fall world lines in space-time.
