This is a Rockland complex, the analogue of an elliptic complex in the Heisenberg calculus. Subelliptic analysis permits to define and study associated spectral invariants. In particular, the analytic torsion and the eta invariant of Rumin\'s contact complex have been compared to Riemannian an CR-invariants by Biquard-Herzlich-Rumin, Rumin-Seshadri, and Albin-Quan.While Rumin\'s complex can be defined for a broad class of filtered (Carnot) manifolds, one 5-dimensional geometry stands out because its Rumin complex is as well behaved as the contact analogue. This geometry is determined by a generic rank two distribution (i.e. 2-plane field) in dimension five, a.k.a. (2,3,5) distribution. Equivalently, it can be characterized as a particular Cartan geometry associated with the exceptional Lie group G2. In this talk we will recall the contact case and discuss recent results on the analytic torsion and the eta invariant of (2,3,5) distributions.</div><div class="event_time">15:15 &bull; ETH Zentrum, R&auml;mistrasse 101, Z&uuml;rich, Building HG, Room G 43</div>        </div>      </div>    </div>    <div class="day">      <div class="day_title">        Tuesday, January 27      </div>      <div class="day_content">        <div class="day_content_item normal"><div class="event_location uni_ge"><a class="external" href="https://unige.ch">Université de Genève</a></div><div class="event_type"><a class="external" href="https://www.unige.ch/math/annonces/seminaire-danalyse-numerique">Séminaire d\'Analyse Numérique </a></div><br /><div class="event_speaker"> Konstantinos C.
