On Geometry of 2-nondegenerate, Hypersurface-type Cauchy–Riemann Structures Encoded by Dynamical Legendrian Contact Structures.
#17 seminar for the Grieg collaboration project.
This is a bi-weekly seminar for the Grieg collaboration project SCREAM: Symmetry, Curvature Reduction, and EquivAlence Methods, funded by the Norwegian Financial Mechanism 2014-2021. The registration number of the project is 2019/34/H/ST1/00636. 

The focus of the project is on a broad class of differential geometric structures known as Cartan and parabolic geometries, which include conformal, projective, CR, and ODE geometry, (2, 3, 5)-distributions, parabolic contact structures, and many more besides. Moreover, we explore the interaction of these structures with a variety of subjects such as mechanical systems and geometric robots, the theory of integrable systems, and Penrose's Conformal Cyclic Cosmology programme.
