We use the general theory developed in our article [1] in the setting of parabolic geometries to reprove known results on special infinitesimal automorphisms of projective and conformal geometries.

Essential Parabolic Structures and Their Infinitesimal Automorphisms
Using the theory of Weyl structures, we give a natural generalization of the notion of essential conformal structures and conformal Killing fields to arbitrary parabolic geometries. We show that a parabolic structure is inessential whenever the automorphism group acts properly on the base space. As a corollary of the generalized Ferrand–Obata theorem proved by C. Frances, this proves a generali...
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...

Complete complex parabolic geometries (including projective connections and conformal connections) are flat and homogeneous.
متن کاملEssential Killing Fields of Parabolic Geometries
We study vector fields generating a local flow by automorphisms of a parabolic geometry with higher order fixed points. We develop general tools extending the techniques of [1], [2], and [3], and we apply them to almost Grassmannian, almost quaternionic, and contact parabolic geometries, including CR structures. We obtain descriptions of the possible dynamics of such flows near the fixed point ...
