The theory of G-structures provides us with a unified framework for a large class of geometric structures, including symplectic, complex and Riemannian structures, as well as foliations and many others. Surprisingly, contact geometry - the "odd-dimensional counterpart" of symplectic geometry - does not fit naturally into this picture. In this paper, we introduce the notion of a homogeneous G-structure, which encompasses contact structures, as well as some other interesting examples that appear in the literature. This is joint work with L. Vitagliano and O. Yudilevich.To get the link please write to konieczn@fuw.edu.pl
