Abstract: There is a natural filtration on the space of degree-$k$ homogeneous polynomials in $n$ independent variables with coefficients in the algebra of smooth functions on the Grassmannian $mathrmGr(n,s)$, determined by the tautological bundle. In this paper we show that the space of $s$-dimensional integral elements of a Cartan plane on $J^{k-1}(E,n)$, with $mathrmdim,E=n+m$, has an affine bundle structure modeled by the the so-obtained bundles over $mathrmGr(n,s)$, and we study a natural distribution associated with it. As an example, we show that a third-order nonlinear PDE of Monge-Amp`ere type is not contact-equivalent to a quasi-linear one.
