A non-homogeneous, symmetric contact projective structure
We construct a non-homogeneous contact projective structure which is symmetric from the point of view of parabolic geometries.
Remarks on symmetries of parabolic geometries
We consider symmetries on filtered manifolds and we study the -graded parabolic geometries in more details. We discuss the existence of symmetries on the homogeneous models and we conclude some simple observations on the general curved geometries.
A construction of non-flat non-homogeneous symmetric parabolic geometries
We construct series of examples of non-flat non-homogeneous parabolic geometries that carry a symmetry of the parabolic geometry at each point.
Notes on symmetric conformal geometries
In this article, we summarize the results on symmetric conformal geometries. We review the results following from the general theory of symmetric parabolic geometries and prove several new results for symmetric conformal geometries. In particular, we show that each symmetric conformal geometry is either locally flat or covered by a pseudo-Riemannian symmetric space, where the covering is a conformal map. We construct examples of locally flat symmetric conformal geometries that are not pseudo-Riemannian...
Remarks on Grassmannian Symmetric Spaces
The classical concept of affine locally symmetric spaces allows a generalization for various geometric structures on a smooth manifold. We remind the notion of symmetry for parabolic geometries and we summarize the known facts for -graded parabolic geometries and for almost Grassmannian structures, in particular. As an application of two general constructions with parabolic geometries, we present an example of non-flat Grassmannian symmetric space. Next we observe there is a distinguished torsion-free...
