The theory of G-structures provides us with a unified framework for a large class of geometric structures, including symplectic, complex and Riemannian structures, as well as foliations and many others. Surprisingly, contact geometry—the “odd-dimensional counterpart” of symplectic geometry—does not fit naturally into this picture. In this paper, we introduce the notion of a homogeneous G-structure, which encompasses contact structures, as well as some other interesting examples that appear in the literature.

Abstract
The theory of G-structures provides us with a unified framework for a large class of geometric structures, including symplectic, complex and Riemannian structures, as well as foliations and many others. Surprisingly, contact geometry—the “odd-dimensional counterpart” of symplectic geometry—does not fit naturally into this picture. In this paper, we introduce the notion of a homogeneous G-structure, which encompasses contact structures, as well as some other interesting examples that appear in the literature.File in questo prodotto:
