Conformal Structures Associated to Generic Rank 2 Distributions on 5-Manifolds - Characterization and Killing-Field Decomposition

Matthias Hammerl, Katja Sagerschnig

Given a maximally non-integrable 2-distribution $\mathcal{D}$ on a 5-manifold $M$, it was discovered by P. Nurowski that one can naturally associate a conformal structure $[g]_{\m…
