Projective Holonomy I: Principles and Properties
نویسنده
چکیده
The aim of this paper and its sequel is to introduce and classify the holonomy algebras of the projective Tractor connection. After a brief historical background, this paper presents and analyses the projective Cartan and Tractor connections, the various structures they can preserve, and their geometric interpretations. Preserved subbundles of the Tractor bundle generate foliations with Ricci-flat leaves. Contactand Einstein-structures arise from other reductions of the Tractor holonomy, as do U(1) and Sp(1,H) bundles over a manifold of smaller dimension.

The aim of this paper and its prequel is to introduce and classify the holonomy algebras of the projective Tractor connection. This is achieved through the construction of a ‘projective cone’, a Ricci-flat manifold one dimension higher whose affine holonomy is equal to the Tractor holonomy of the underlying manifold. This paper uses the result to enable the construction of manifolds with each p...
