Abstract:

In this paper we study a submanifold in a space with a pseudoconformal connection. We assume that the submanifold $M$ is so situated that it inherits the structure of a ${\text {CR}}$-hypersurface from the ambient space. $M$ then supports two natural Cartan connections, the normal pseudoconformal connection of Cartan-Chern-Tanaka and an induced pseudoconformal connection. Analogues of the Gauss-Codazzi equations are derived and applied to determine necessary and sufficient conditions for the equivalence of these connections.
