    This very interesting paper gives a solution to a difficult problem in quaternionic geometry, namely the equivalence problem of quaternionic contact structures. This problem consists in finding a complete system of differential invariants in order for two quaternionic contact manifolds to be locally diffeomorphic. The solution is based on a clever interplay between Cartan's method of equivalence and the abstract theory of parabolic geometries.
