Abstract: 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.

Review text

The notions of a homogeneous \(G\)-structure and of homogeneous integrability are introduced. Contact structures are considered as homogeneous symplectic structures. It is proved that contact structures are in a bijective correspondence with homogeneous \(\mathrm{Sp}\)-structures of an appropriate degree $\alpha$ that are homogeneous integrable (here \(\mathrm{Sp}\) denotes the symplectic group).
