Abstract: The Grassmannian $V_2(mathbb{R}^{n+2})$ of oriented 2-planes in $mathbb{R}^{n+2}$ where $nge3$ carries a homogeneous parabolic contact structure of Grassmannian type. The main result of this article is that on $V_2(mathbb{R}^{n+2})$ lives an elliptic complex of invariant differential operators of length 3 which starts with the 2-Dirac operator and that the index of the complex is zero.

Review text

The parabolic conformally symplectic structure (or PCS-structure) of Grassmannian type on an even-dimensional manifold \(M^{2n}\) \((2n\geq 6)\) is a Grassmannian structure with auxiliary vector bundles \(E\) and \(F\) of rank 2 and \(n\), respectively, together with a conformally symplectic structure. It it proved that the Grassmannian \(G^+_2\) \((\mathbb R^{n+2})\) of oriented 2-planes in \(\mathbb R^{n+2}\) \((n\geq 3)\) with a homogeneous PCS-structure is equipped with an elliptic complex of invariant differential operators of length 3 which are related to Dirac operators.
