TY - JOUR ID - 1079822 AU - Slovák, Jan - Schmalz, Gerd PY - 2012 TI - Free CR distributions JF - Central European Journal of Mathematics VL - 10 IS - 5 SP - 1896-1913 EP - 1896-1913 SN - 18951074 KW - Cartan connection KW - Cartan curvature KW - Parabolic geometry KW - Fefferman construction N2 - There are only some exceptional CR dimensions and codimensions such that the geometries enjoy a discrete classification of the pointwise types of the homogeneous models. The cases of CR dimensions n and codimensions n (2) are among the very few possibilities of the so-called parabolic geometries. Indeed, the homogeneous model turns out to be PSU(n+1,n)/P with a suitable parabolic subgroup P. We study the geometric properties of such real (2n+n (2))-dimensional submanifolds in for all n > 1. In particular, we show that the fundamental invariant is of torsion type, we provide its explicit computation, and we discuss an analogy to the Fefferman construction of a circle bundle in the hypersurface type CR geometry.
