  • We investigate Jacobi fields and conjugate points in the context of sprays. We first prove that the conjugate points of a spray remain preserved under a projective change. Then, we establish conditions on the projective factor, so that the projectively deformed spray meets the conditions of a proposition that ensures the existence of conjugate points. We discuss our methods by means of illustrative examples, throughout the paper.
