Extension phenomena for holomorphic geometric structures (Q970237)

The main subject of the paper is the extension problem of various geometric structures. There are several results in the paper. One of the main theorems states that a holomorphic bundle underlying a Cartan geometry extends over a subset of codimension two or bigger provided the Cartan geometry does. There is an analogous result for \(G\)-structures instead of Cartan geometries and a similar result for higher order holomorphic structures. Other examples where the extension theorem works include holomorphic contact structures, parabolic geometries, reductive Cartan geometries, reductive \(G\)-structures and a few more. The paper contains a good survey of the results known and gives many examples.
