| Research Abstract |
In this research we investigated non-integrable tangent distributions on manifolds from the global viewpoint. In particular, we took up the notion of entropy and examined its significance in measuring the complexity of such distributions. The notion of entropy for non-integrable distributions was first introduced by Bis in 2005. We gave a somewhat different definition from his one, and proved the vanishing of the entropy for non-affine Engel distributions on 4-dimensional manifolds.
