Contact structures of type associated to solutions of Noth's equation

Matthew Randall

We establish a correspondence between solutions of Noth's equation, a non-linear ordinary differential equation that shows up in the theory of -distributions, and diffeomo…

Local equivalence of some maximally symmetric -distributions III: An-Nurowski surface rolling on a plane

Matthew Randall

We consider the maximally symmetric -distribution given by the An-Nurowski circle twistor bundle over the product of an An-Nurowski surface and the plane. This circle twis…

Local equivalence of some maximally symmetric -distributions II

Matthew Randall

We show the change of coordinates that maps the maximally symmetric -distribution given by solutions to the and generalised Chazy equation…

Local equivalence of some maximally symmetric -distributions

Matthew Randall

Using a complex parametrisation of , we show a change of coordinates that maps the maximally symmetric rolling -distribution to the flat Cartan distribution. This e…

A Monge normal form for the rolling distribution

Matthew Randall

Using a parametrisation of given by the second prolongation of the group action of unimodular fractional linear transformations as presented in an article of Clarkson and Ol…

Nurowski's conformal class of a maximally symmetric (2,3,5)-distribution and its Ricci-flat representatives

Matthew Randall

We show that the solutions to the second-order differential equation associated to the generalised Chazy equation with parameters and naturally show up in the conformal…

Automorphisms and transformations of solutions to the generalised Chazy equation for various parameters

Matthew Randall

We analyse the automorphisms of solutions to Chazy's equation and the generalised Chazy equation for the parameters and . These automorphisms are induced by triangular…

Automorphism of solutions to Ramanujan's differential equations and other results

Matthew Randall

In part one we prove a theorem about the automorphism of solutions to Ramanujan's differential equations. We also investigate possible applications of the result. In part two we pr…

Local equivalence of some maximally symmetric rolling distributions and Pfaffian systems

Matthew Randall

We give a description of Nurowski's conformal structure for some examples of bracket-generating rank 2 distributions in dimension 5, aka -distributions, namely the An-Nuro…

Three dimensional near-horizon metrics that are Einstein-Weyl

Matthew Randall

We investigate which three dimensional near-horizon metrics admit a compatible 1-form such that defines an Einstein-Weyl structure. We find explicit ex…

Schwarz triangle functions and duality for certain parameters of the generalised Chazy equation

Matthew Randall

Schwarz triangle functions play a fundamental role in the solutions of the generalised Chazy equation. Chazy has shown that for the parameters and , the equations can be l…

Flat -Distributions and Chazy's Equations

Matthew Randall

In the geometry of generic 2-plane fields on 5-manifolds, the local equivalence problem was solved by Cartan who also constructed the fundamental curvature invariant. For generic 2…

Generalised Ricci Solitons

Pawel Nurowski, Matthew Randall

We introduce a class of overdetermined systems of partial differential equations of finite type on (pseudo)-Riemannian manifolds that we call the generalised Ricci soliton equation…

The conformal-to-Einstein equation on Möbius surfaces

Matthew Randall

On a conformal manifold, it is well known that parallel sections of the standard tractor bundle with non-vanishing scale are in 1-1 correspondence with solutions of the conformal E…

Local obstructions to projective surfaces admitting skew-symmetric Ricci tensor

Matthew Randall

The equation determining whether a projective structure admits a connection in its given projective class that has skew-symmetric Ricci tensor is an overdetermined system of semi-l…

Local obstructions to a conformally invariant equation on Möbius surfaces

Matthew Randall

On a Möbius surface, as defined by D. Calderbank, we study a variant of the Einstein-Weyl (EW) equation which we call scalar-flat Möbius EW (sf-MEW). This is a conformally invarian…
