Holonomy of Cartan collections

<p>This thesis looks into the holonomy algebras of Tractor/Cartan connections for both projective and conformal structures. Using a splitting formula and a cone construction in the Einstein case, it classifies all reductive, non-irreducible holonomy groups for conformal structures (thus fully...
