Holomorphic Cartan geometries on uniruled surfaces (Q639630): Difference between revisions

The author classifies holomorphic Cartan geometries on compact complex surfaces which contain a rational curve. The main result is that if a compact complex surface \(S\) bears a holomorphic Cartan geometry, and contains a rational curve, then the Cartan geometry is flat, and either \(S\) is a rational homogeneous variety with its standard flat holomorphic Cartan geometry, or \(S\) is a flat \(\mathbb P^1\)-bundle \(S\to C\) and the holomorphic Cartan geometry is induced by a locally homogeneous geometric structure on \(C\).
