Differential systems, moving frames, structure-preserving submersions and geometrical problems in physics

The present work applies the theories of exterior differential systems, method of equivalence and moving frames to the study of geometrical problems arising in physics, especially the class of problems that can be described as “structure-preserving submer- sions”. A novel feature of our approach is...
