Remarks on symmetries of parabolic geometries

Similarity:

We consider symmetries on filtered manifolds and we study the | 1 | -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.

Homogeneous Cartan geometries

Matthias Hammerl (2007)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

We describe invariant principal and Cartan connections on homogeneous principal bundles and show how to calculate the curvature and the holonomy; in the case of an invariant Cartan connection we give a formula for the infinitesimal automorphisms. The main result of this paper is that the above calculations are purely algorithmic. As an example of an homogeneous parabolic geometry we treat a conformal structure on the product of two spheres.
