Elementary Relative Tractor Calculus for Legendrean contact structures

Differential Geometry 2023-01-13 v2

Abstract

For a manifold MM endowed with a Legendrean (or Lagrangean) contact structure EFTME\oplus F \subset TM, we give an elementary construction of an invariant partial connection on the quotient bundle TM/FTM/F. This permits us to develop a na\"{i}ve version of relative tractor calculus and to construct a second order invariant differential operator, which turns out to be the first relative BGG operator induced by the partial connection.
