A short note on Courant brackets on parabolic geometries. 2nd Version. Removed an erronous proof
Scientific paper
This note aims to demonstrate that every parabolic geometry has a naturally
defined per-Courant algebro\"id structure. This structure is a Courant
algebro\"id if and only if the the curvature $\kappa$ of the Cartan connection
vanishes. In all other cases, if the parabolic geometry is regular, there does
not exist a natural universal expression for a Courant bracket.
