On Tanaka's Prolongation Procedure for Filtered Structures of Constant Type
Igor Zelenko Department of Mathematics, Texas A\&M University, College Station, TX 77843-3368, USA
Abstract:
We present Tanaka's prolongation procedure for filtered structures on manifolds discovered in [Tanaka N.,
J. Math. Kyoto. Univ. 10 (1970), 1–82] in a spirit of Singer–Sternberg's description of the prolongation of usual $G$-structures [Singer I. M., Sternberg S., J. Analyse Math. 15 (1965), 1–114; Sternberg S., Prentice-Hall, Inc., Englewood Cliffs, N.J., 1964]. This approach gives a transparent point of view on the Tanaka constructions avoiding many technicalities of the original Tanaka paper.
Keywords:
$G$-structures; filtered structures; generalized Spencer operator; prolongations.
