Abstract
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 and codimensions are among the very few possibilities of the so called parabolic geometries. Indeed, the homogeneous model turns out to be with a suitable parabolic subgroup . We study the geometric properties of such real -dimensional submanifolds in for all . 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.
