Abstract

Given a smooth totally nonholonomic distribution on a smooth manifold, we construct a singular distribution capturing essential abnormal lifts which is locally generated by vector fields with controlled divergence. Then, as an application, we prove the Sard conjecture for rank distribution in dimension and generic distributions of corank .
