Abstract

The general theme of the project, the study of geometric structures on the absolute, consists of two parts: the research one, planned for the Scientific Initiation and as a possible Master Degree theme, and the background one intended for the Scientific Initiation. The explicit research problem: understand if the fibrewise pseudo-hermitian structure of every stratum of the grassmannian absolute admits a natural connection. (AU)
