Conformally Fedosov manifolds (Q2417750)

The notion of Fedosov manifold is a generalization of that of a Kähler manifold, cf. [Zbl 0945.53047]. It is determined by a triple $(M,\omega,\nabla)$ where $M$ is a smooth manifold, $\omega$ a non-degenerate closed 2-form on $M$ called symplectic form and $\nabla$ a torsionless linear connection on $M$ such that $\nabla_\omega=0$. In the present paper, the authors recall the notion of conformally symplectic manifolds $(M,\left[J\right])$, of projective manifolds in order to define the new notion of conformally Fedosov manifold $(M,\left[J\right],\left[\nabla\right])$ which extends the conformally symplectic one where $J$ is a non-degenerate 2-form on $M$ such that $dJ=2\alpha\wedge J$ with an arbitrary closed 1-form $\alpha$ on $M$ and $M$ of even-dimension. To justify the term of conformally Fedosov manifolds, they prove that $(M,\left[J\right],\left[\nabla\right])$ is equivalent to define $(M,\left[J,\nabla\right])$ by a certain equality that will be used in the following. Moreover, the authors determine the corresponding curvature by computing a so-called invariant curvature, the tractor connection after building the natural tractor bundle $\mathbb{T}$ of the conformally Fedosov manifold $(M,\left[J,\nabla\right])$ and the curvature of this last connection. Illustrations of these new definitions and theorems generated by them are given by examples in the paper. In addition, they show a coupled Rumin-Seshadri complex from connections defined on the conformally symplectic manifold $(M,\left[J\right])$ with a flat symplectic connection on a vector bundle $E$ on $M$. In the case of the conformally Fedosov manifold $(M,\left[J,\nabla\right])$ with nullity of the invariant curvature mentioned before, the corresponding cohomology has been computed when $E=\mathbb{T}$ and it is found that this complex has relations with Bernstein-Gelfand-Gelfand one, as a principal example is in a complex projective manifold.
