چکیده
We classify compact manifolds of dimension three equipped with a path structure and fixed contact form (which we refer to as strict structure) under the hypothesis that their automorphism group is non-compact. use Cartan connection associated show its curvature constant.

Bi-invariant Means on Lie Groups with Cartan-Schouten Connections
In computational anatomy, one needs to perform statistics on shapes and transformations, and to transport these statistics from one geometry (e.g. a given subject) to another (e.g. the template). The geometric structure that appeared to be the best suited so far was the Riemannian setting. The statistical Riemannian framework was indeed pretty well developped for finite-dimensional manifolds an...
متن کاملAn embedding theorem for automorphism groups of Cartan geometries
The main motivation of this paper arises from classical questions about actions of Lie groups preserving a geometric structure: which Lie groups can act on a manifold preserving a given structure, and which cannot? Which algebraic properties of the acting group have strong implications on the geometry of the manifold, such as local homogeneity, or on the dynamics of the action? These questions ...
متن کاملAutomorphism groups of countable structures
Suppose M is a countable first-order structure with a ‘rich’ automorphism group Aut(M). We will study Aut(M) both as a group and as a topological group, where the topology is that of pointwise convergence. This involves a mixture of model theory, group theory, combinatorics, descriptive set theory and topological dynamics. Here, ‘rich’ is undefined and depends on the context, but examples which...
متن کاملAutomorphism Groups of Saturated Structures; A Review
We will review the main results concerning the automorphism groups of saturated structures which were obtained during the two last decades. The main themes are: the small index property in the countable and uncountable cases; the possibility of recovering a structure or a significant part of it from its automorphism group; the subgroup of strong automorphisms. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classific...
متن کاملTypical automorphism groups of finite nonrigid structures
We work with a nite relational vocabulary with at least one relation symbol with arity at least 2. Fix any integer m > 1. For almost all nite structures (labelled or unlabelled) such that at least m elements are moved by some automorphisms, the automorphism group is (Z2) for some i ≤ (m+1)/2; and if some relation symbol has arity at least 3, then the automorphism group is almost always Z2.
