Let G be a (real or complex) semisimple Lie group, whose Lie algebra g is endowed with a so called jkj{grading, i.e. a grading of the form g = g ?k g k , such that no simple factor of G is of type A 1. Let P be the subgroup corresponding to the subalgebra p = g 0 g k. The aim of this paper is to clarify the geometrical meaning of Cartan connections corresponding to the pair (G; P) and to study ...

Parabolic Geometries and Canonical Cartan Connections

Let G be a (real or complex) semisimple Lie group, whose Lie algebra g is endowed with a so called |k|–grading, i.e. a grading of the form g = g−k ⊕ · · · ⊕ gk, such that no simple factor of G is of type A1. Let P be the subgroup corresponding to the subalgebra p = g0 ⊕ · · · ⊕ gk. The aim of this paper is to clarify the geometrical meaning of Cartan connections corresponding to the pair (G,P )...

Ricci tensor for $GCR$-lightlike submanifolds of indefinite Kaehler manifolds

We obtain the expression of Ricci tensor for a $GCR$-lightlikesubmanifold of indefinite complex space form and discuss itsproperties on a totally geodesic $GCR$-lightlike submanifold of anindefinite complex space form. Moreover, we have proved that everyproper totally umbilical $GCR$-lightlike submanifold of anindefinite Kaehler manifold is a totally geodesic $GCR$-lightlikesubmanifold.
