Abstract

We show that the solutions to the second-order differential equation associated to the generalised Chazy equation with parameters k = 2 and k = 3 naturally show up in the conformal rescaling that takes a representative metric in Nurowski’s conformal class associated to a maximally symmetric (2,3,5)-distribution (described locally by a certain function φ(x,q)=q2H″(x) ) to a Ricci-flat one.
