Elliptic complex on the Grassmannian of oriented 2-planes

Differential Geometry 2018-02-19 v4

Abstract

The Grassmannian V2(Rn+2)V_2(\mathbb{R}^{n+2}) of oriented 2-planes in Rn+2\mathbb R^{n+2} where n3n\ge3 carries a homogeneous parabolic contact structure of Grassmannian type. The main result of this article is that on V2(Rn+2)V_2(\mathbb{R}^{n+2}) lives an elliptic complex of invariant differential operators of length 3 which starts with the 2-Dirac operator and that the index of the complex is zero.
