On local flatness of manifolds with AHS-structures

Čap, Andreas, Slovák, Jan

Similarity:

Summary: The AHS-structures on manifolds are the simplest cases of the so called parabolic geometries which are modeled on homogeneous spaces corresponding to a parabolic subgroup in a semisimple Lie group. It covers the cases where the negative parts of the graded Lie algebras in question are abelian. In the series the authors developed a consistent frame bundle approach to the subject. Here we give explicit descriptions of the obstructions against the flatness of such structures based...

Connections with prescribed curvature

Dennis Deturck, Janet Talvacchia (1987)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

We discuss the problem of prescribing the curvature of a connection on a principal bundle whose base manifold is three-dimensional. In particular, we consider the local question: Given a curvature form F , when does there exist locally a connection A such that F is the curvature of A  ? When the structure group of the bundle is semisimple, a finite number of nonlinear identities arise as necessary conditions for local solvability of the curvature equation. We conjecture that these conditions...

Free CR distributions

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...
