An Embedding Theorem for tractor bundles, and an application in conformal pseudo-Riemannian geometry

Abstract: We provide an extension of the Gromov--Zimmer Embedding Theorem for Cartan geometries of [3] to tractor bundles carrying any invariant connection, including tractor connections and prolongation connections of first BGG operators for parabolic geometries. As an application, we prove a rigidity result for conformal actions of special pseudo-unitary groups on closed, simply connected, analytic pseudo-Riemannian manifolds.
