Abstract:
I will talk about a geometry of manifolds equipped with a pair of integrable vector distributions. Such geometry is suitable to describe a geometry of a large class of Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) considered modulo various types of changes of variables. This class of PDEs is called `the finite type', meaning that their space of solutions is finite dimensional. I will illustrate the para-CR structure of type (k,r,s) geometry with a few examples having applications in theoretical physics.
