Abstract

In this paper we extend the Tanaka finiteness theorem and inequality for the number of symmetries to arbitrary distributions (differential systems) and provide several applications.

Comments

In this version I extend the last section by including a description of all rank 2 and 3 distributions with infinite-dimensional symmetry algebra. The second proof of Theorem 1 for semi-strongly regular case is omitted in this version (as excessive), but it is valid/accessible through version 1.
