Motivated by the study of CR-submanifolds of codimension in , the authors consider here a -dimensional oriented manifold equipped with a -dimensional distribution. Under some non-degeneracy condition, two different geometric situations can occur. In the elliptic case, one constructs a canonical almost complex structure on ; the hyperbolic case leads to a canonical almost product structure. In both cases the only local invariants are given by the obstructions to integrability for these structures. The local ’flat’ models are a -dimensional complex contact manifold and the product of two -dimensional real contact manifolds, respectively.
