Abstract
We study the geometry of affine and normal connections induced by a complete normalization of mutually orthogonal distributions \( \mathcal{M} \) and \( \mathcal{H} \) in conformal space C n , where \( \mathcal{M} \) is a distribution of hyperplane elements, and \( \mathcal{H} \) is a distribution of line elements. We consider invariant fields of pencils that are parallel with respect to the normal connection \( \mathop {\nabla ^ \bot }\limits^0 \) along any curve belonging to the distribution \( \mathcal{M} \).
