Description The classical notion of development of curves easily generalizes to the wide class of Cartan geometries. This construction provides some correspondence between smooth curves on the base manifold and smooth curves in the homogeneous space of the geometry in question. In this vein, there are specific curves on the base manifold distinguished in terms of their developments. Explicit relationship between the initial curve and its development is worked out.
