Infinitesimal Cartan Geometries on ,,examples (affine, projective, Riemannian and conformal geometries) all have realisations of this form, as indeed we have seen already in the affine and Riemannian cases. In the first four sections of this chapter we discuss each of these specific cases in turn, while in the final section we develop the general theory of such geometries.

Conformal Geometry: The Full Version,g bundle will be spheres rather than projective spaces. In this chapter we shall explain how the action of a suitable group gives rise to such a sphere as a homogeneous space, and how the corresponding Cartan geometry can be constructed.

Whereas the maps from a single fibre . satisfying such a condition will form a group, this will obviously not be the case when we consider maps with different domains and codomains: we will obtain, i
