Homogeneous Cartan geometries

Matthias Hammerl (2007)

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.

Free CR distributions

Gerd Schmalz, Jan Slovák (2012)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

There are only some exceptional CR dimensions and codimensions such that the geometries enjoy a discrete classification of the pointwise types of the homogeneous models. The cases of CR dimensions n and codimensions n 2 are among the very few possibilities of the so-called parabolic geometries. Indeed, the homogeneous model turns out to be PSU(n+1,n)/P with a suitable parabolic subgroup P. We study the geometric properties of such real (2n+n 2)-dimensional submanifolds in ℂ n + n 2 for all n...

Natural operators in the view of Cartan geometries

Martin Panák (2003)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

We prove, that r -th order gauge natural operators on the bundle of Cartan connections with a target in the gauge natural bundles of the order ( 1 , 0 ) (“tensor bundles”) factorize through the curvature and its invariant derivatives up to order r - 1 . On the course to this result we also prove that the invariant derivations (a generalization of the covariant derivation for Cartan geometries) of the curvature function of a Cartan connection have the tensor character. A modification of the theorem...
