A Cartan-theoretic classification of multiply-transitive $(2,3,5)$-distributions

备注：: 28 pages

英文摘要：

In his 1910 paper, Élie Cartan gave a tour-de-force solution to the (local) equivalence problem for generic rank 2 distributions on 5-manifolds, i.e. $(2,3,5)$-distributions. From a modern perspective, these structures admit equivalent descriptions as (regular, normal) parabolic geometries modelled on a quotient of $G_2$, but this is not transparent from his article: indeed, the Cartan "connection" of 1910 is not a "Cartan connection" in the modern sense. We revisit the classification of multiply-transitive $(2,3,5)$-distributions from a modern Cartan-geometric perspective, incorporating $G_2$ structure theory throughout, obtaining: (i) the complete (local) classifications in the complex and real settings, phrased "Cartan-theoretically", and (ii) the full curvature and infinitesimal holonomy of all these models. Moreover, we Cartan-theoretically prove exceptionality of the $3:1$ ratio for two 2-spheres rolling on each other without twisting or slipping, yielding a $(2,3,5)$-distribution with symmetry the Lie algebra of the split real form of $G_2$.

A groupoid approach to transitive differential geometry

This work is a spin-off of an on-going programme which aims at revisiting the original studies of Lie and Cartan on pseudogroups and geometric structures from a modern perspective. We encode geometric structures induced by transitive Lie pseudogroups into principal $G$-bundles equipped with a transversally parallelisable foliation generated by a subalgebra of $\mathfrak{g}$, called Cartan bundles. Our approach is complementary to arXiv:1911.13147 and is based on Morita equivalence of Lie groupoids. After identifying the main examples and properties, we develop a notion of flatness with respect…

Cartan geometries and multiplicative forms

In this paper we show that Cartan geometries can be studied via transitive Lie groupoids endowed with a special kind of vector-valued multiplicative 1-forms. This viewpoint leads us to a more general notion, that of Cartan bundle, which encompasses both Cartan geometries and G-structures.

Classification of simply-transitive Levi non-degenerate hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{C}^3$

Holomorphically homogeneous CR real hypersurfaces $M^3 \subset \mathbb{C}^2$ were classified by Élie Cartan in 1932. In the next dimension, we complete the classification of simply-transitive Levi non-degenerate hypersurfaces $M^5 \subset \mathbb{C}^3$ using a novel Lie algebraic approach independent of any earlier classifications of abstract Lie algebras. Central to our approach is a new coordinate-free formula for the fundamental (complexified) quartic tensor. Our final result has a unique (Levi-indefinite) non-tubular model, for which we demonstrate geometric relations to planar equi-affine…

Accidental CR structures

We noticed a discrepancy between Élie Cartan and Sigurdur Helgason about the lowest possible dimension in which the simple exceptional Lie group ${\bf E}_8$ can be realized. This raised the question about the lowest dimensions in which various real forms of the exceptional groups ${\bf E}_\ell$ can be realized. Cartan claims that ${\bf E}_6$ can be realized in dimension 16. However Cartan refers to the complex group ${\bf E}_6$, or its split real form $E_I$. His claim is also valid in the case of the real form denoted by $E_{IV}$. We find however that the real forms $E_{II}$ and $E_{III}$ of $…

On the quasi-isometric and bi-Lipschitz classification of 3D Riemannian Lie groups

This note is concerned with the geometric classification of connected Lie groups of dimension three or less, endowed with left-invariant Riemannian metrics. On the one hand, assembling results from the literature, we give a review of the complete classification of such groups up to quasi-isometries and we compare the quasi-isometric classification with the bi-Lipschitz classification. On the other hand, we study the problem whether two quasi-isometrically equivalent Lie groups may be made isometric if equipped with suitable left-invariant Riemannian metrics. We show that this is the case for t…
