| Summary:
|
We give a uniform, explicit description of the generic types of one–step bracket–generating distributions of rank four. A manifold carrying such a structure has dimension at least five and no higher than ten. For each of the generic types, we give a brief description of the resulting class of generic distributions and of geometries equivalent to them. For dimensions different from eight and nine, these are available in the literature. The remaining two cases are dealt with in my doctoral thesis. (English) |
