$G_{2}$ and the Maximally Symmetric (3, 8) Distribution with 6-Dimensional Square

Nicklas Day, Boris Doubrov, Igor Zelenko

In 1910, Ãlie Cartan famously realized the split real form of the exceptional Lie group $G_{2}$ as the symmetry group of the maximally symmetric rank 2 distribution on a 5-dimension…

Canonical Frames for Bracket Generating Rank 2 Distributions which are not Goursat

Nicklas Day, Igor Zelenko

We complete a uniform construction of canonical absolute parallelism for bracket generating rank $2$ distributions with $5$ -dimensional cube on $n$ -dimensional manifold with $n\geq…

Symplectification of Rank 2 Distributions, Normal Cartan Connections, and Cartan Prolongations

Nicklas Day, Boris Doubrov, Igor Zelenko

We study the Doubrov--Zelenko symplectification procedure for rank $2$ distributions with $5$ -dimensional cube -- originally motivated by optimal control theory -- through the lens…
