Holomorphic Cartan geometries and Calabi--Yau manifolds

Abstract

We prove that the only Calabi--Yau projective manifolds which bear holomorphic Cartan geometries are precisely the abelian varieties. (Nous d\'emontrons que les seules vari\'et\'es projectives de Calabi--Yau qui poss\`edent des g\'eom\'etrie holomorphes de Cartan sont les vari\'et\'es ab\'eliennes.)
