On Distinguished Curves in Parabolic Geometries
All parabolic geometries, i.e. Cartan geometries with homogeneous model a real generalized flag manifold, admit highly interesting classes of distinguished curves. The geodesics of a projective class of connections on a manifold, conformal circles on conformal Riemannian manifolds, and Chern– Moser chains on CR–manifolds of hypersurface type are typical examples. We show that such distinguished...
متن کاملRational Curves and Parabolic Geometries
The twistor transform of a parabolic geometry has two steps: lift up to a geometry of higher dimension, and then descend to a geometry of lower dimension. The first step is a functor, but the second requires some compatibility conditions. Local necessary conditions were uncovered by Andreas Čap [12]. We uncover necessary and sufficient global conditions for complex analytic geometries: rational...
متن کاملCritical behaviour in parabolic geometries
We study two–dimensional systems with boundary curves described by power laws. Using conformal mappings we obtain the correlations at the bulk critical point. Three different classes of behaviour are found and explained by scaling arguments which also apply to higher dimensions. For an Ising system of parabolic shape the behaviour of the order at the tip is also found. The shape of a system und...
متن کاملComplete Complex Parabolic Geometries
Complete complex parabolic geometries (including projective connections and conformal connections) are flat and homogeneous.
متن کاملStrongly Essential Flows on Irreducible Parabolic Geometries
We study the local geometry of irreducible parabolic geometries admitting strongly essential flows; these are flows by local automorphisms with higher-order fixed points. We prove several new rigidity results, and recover some old ones for projective and conformal structures, which show that in many cases the existence of a strongly essential flow implies local flatness of the geometry on an op...
