2 O ct 2 01 1 GEOMETRY OF CURVES IN PARABOLIC HOMOGENEOUS SPACES
نویسنده
چکیده
The current paper is devoted to the study of integral curves of constant type in parabolic homogeneous spaces. We construct a canonical moving frame bundle for such curves and give the criterium when it turns out to be a Cartan connection. Generalizations to parametrized curves, to higher-dimensional submanifolds and to general parabolic geometries are discussed.

Preferred Parameterisations on Homogeneous Curves
This article is motivated by the theory of distinguished curves in parabolic geometries, as developed in [2]. A parabolic geometry is, by definition, modelled on a homogeneous space of the form G/P where G is a real semisimple Lie group and P is a parabolic subgroup. (There is also a complex theory which corresponds to the choices of complex G’s and P ’s with specific curvature restrictions for...

متن کاملNormal holomorphic curves from parabolic regions to projective spaces
A holomorphic map C → Pn is called normal if it is uniformly continuous from the Euclidean metric to the Fubini–Study metric. The paper contains a survey of known results about such maps, as well as some new theorems. 1 Holomorphic curves in projective spaces This text was written in 1998 as an answer to a question asked by Misha Gromov. As he soon answered this question himself [6], this prepr...
متن کاملIsometric Action of Sl2(r) on Homogeneous Spaces
We investigate the SL2(R) invariant geodesic curves with the associated invariant distance function in parabolic geometry. Parabolic geometry naturally occurs in the study of SL2(R) and is placed in between the elliptic and the hyperbolic (also known as the Lobachevsky half-plane and 2dimensional Minkowski space-time) geometries. Initially we attempt to use standard methods of finding geodesics...
متن کاملOn 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...
