"Geometry of (3,6)-distributions: structure and models"
I'll report on some recent joint work with Omid Makhmali and Travis Willse in which we use parabolic geometry theory to explore the geometry of (3,6)-distributions. I'll discuss some interesting examples, give a partial analogue of the Cartan-Petrov classification, and discuss holonomy and BGG equations for such structures.
