A Goursat structure on a manifold of dimension n is a rank two distribution 𝒟 such that dim 𝒟 ( i ) = i + 2 , for 0 i n - 2 , where 𝒟 ( i ) denote the elements of the derived flag of 𝒟 , defined by 𝒟 ( 0 ) = 𝒟 and 𝒟 ( i + 1 ) = 𝒟 ( i ) + [ 𝒟 ( i ) , 𝒟 ( i ) ] . Goursat structures appeared first in the work of von Weber and Cartan, who have shown that on an open and dense subset they can be converted into the so-called Goursat normal form. Later, Goursat structures have been studied by Kumpera and Ruiz. In the paper, we introduce a new local invariant for Goursat structures,...
