Three completeness notions for Cartan geometries are shown not to be equivalent.

Elie Cartan's general equivalence problem is recast in the language of Lie algebroids. The resulting formalism, being coordinate and model-free, allows for a full geometric interpretation of Cartan's method of equivalence via reduction and prolongation. We show how to construct certain normal forms (Cartan algebroids) …

We apply Cartan's method of equivalence to find a Bäcklund autotransformation for the tangent covering of the universal hierarchy equation. The transformation provides a recursion operator for symmetries of this equation.

This article is dedicated to solve the equivalence problem for two third order differential operators on the line under general fiber--preserving transformation using the Cartan method of equivalence. We will do three versions of the equivalence problems: first via the direct equivalence problem, second equivalence pro…

Develops a new method for solving equivalence problems in pseudo-groups.

Following the Cartans's original method of equivalence supported by methods of parabolic geometry, we provide a complete solution for the equivalence problem of quaternionic contact structures, that is, the problem of finding a complete system of differential invariants for two quaternionic contact manifolds to be loca…

Local equivalence found between maximally symmetric rolling and flat Cartan distributions.

We study the equivalence problem for $4$-dimensional CR-manifolds of CR-dimension $1$ and codimension $2$ which are referred to as Engel CR-manifolds. We construct a canonical Cartan connection on such CR-manifolds through Cartan equivalence's method. In particular, we give the explicit expression of $4$ biholomorphic …

The aim of the paper is to demonstrate the superiority of Cartan's method over direct methods based on differential elimination for handling otherwise intractable equivalence problems. In this sens, using our implementation of Cartan's method, we establish two new equivalence results. Weestablish when a system of secon…

We consider the local equivalence problem for the class of linear second order hyperbolic equations in two independent variables under an action of the pseudo-group of contact transformations. E.

The linearization problem by use of the Cartan equivalence method for scalar third-order ODEs via point transformations was solved partially in [1,2]. In order to solve this problem completely, the Cartan equivalence method is applied to provide an invariant characterization of the linearizable third-order ordinary dif…

We apply the Cartan equivalence method to the study of real analytic second order ODEs under the local real analytic diffeomorphism of $\C^2$ which are area-preserving. This enables us to give a characterization of the second order ODEs which are equivalent to $y^{\prime\prime}=0$ under such transformations. Moreover w…

Constructs Cartan geometries from automorphism behaviors.

In 1910 E. Cartan constructed the canonical frame and found the most symmetric case for maximally nonholonomic rank 2 distributions on a 5-dimensional manifold. We solve the analogous problems for rank 2 distributions on an n-dimensional manifold for arbitrary n greater than 5. Our method is a kind of symplectification…

We give a generalization of the well-known result of E. Cartan on isoparametric cubics by showing that a homogeneous cubic polynomial solution of the eiconal equation $|\nabla f|^2=9|x|^4$ must be rotationally equivalent to either $x_n^3-3x_n(x_1^2+...+x_{n-1}^2)$, or to one of four exceptional Cartan cubic polynomials…
