[Topological obstructions to regular non-integrable rank 2 distributions]
In this Note, we present topological obstructions to the existence of a regular non-integrable rank 2 distribution on a smooth manifold of dimension ⩾4. In particular, we recover the topological obstructions uncovered by Buemi for the case where the distribution is of class (A) and of type with or 1.
Dans cette Note, nous présentons des obstructions topologiques à l'existence, sur une variété lisse de dimension ⩾4, de distributions régulières non-intégrables de rang 2. En particulier, nous retrouvons les résultats de Buemi dans les cas où la distribution est de classe (A) et de type avec ou 1.
