Numerical Methods and Closed Orbits in the Kepler-Heisenberg Problem

open access: yes, 2017
The Kepler-Heisenberg problem is that of determining the motion of a planet around a sun in the sub-Riemannian Heisenberg group. The sub-Riemannian Hamiltonian provides the kinetic energy, and the gravitational potential is given by the fundamental ...

Nos\'e-Thermostated Mechanical Systems on the n-Torus

open access: yes, 2017
Let $H(q,p) = \frac12 | p |^2 + V(q)$ be an $n$-degree of freedom $C^r$ mechanical Hamiltonian on the cotangent bundle of the $n$-torus where $r>2n+2$. When the metric $| * |$ is flat, the Nos\'e-thermostated system associated to $H$ is shown to have a ...

A counterexample to gluing theorems for MCP metric measure spaces

open access: yes, 2018
Perelman's doubling theorem asserts that the metric space obtained by gluing along their boundaries two copies of an Alexandrov space with curvature $\geq \kappa$ is an Alexandrov space with the same dimension and satisfying the same curvature lower ...

Superintegrability of Sub-Riemannian Problems on Unimodular 3D Lie Groups [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Left-invariant sub-Riemannian problems on unimodular 3D Lie groups are considered. For the Hamiltonian system of Pontryagin maximum principle for sub-Riemannian geodesics, the Liouville integrability and superintegrability are ...

On the classification of complete area-stationary and stable surfaces in the sub-Riemannian Sol manifold

open access: yes, 2013
We study the classification of area-stationary and stable $C^2$ regular surfaces in the space of the rigid motions of the Minkowski plane E(1,1), equipped with its sub-Riemannian structure.

Riemannian and Sub-Riemannian geodesic flows

open access: yes, 2015
In the present paper we show that the geodesic flows of a sub-Riemannian metric and that of a Riemannian extension commute if and only if the extended metric is parallel with respect to a certain connection. This helps us to describe the geodesic flow of

Bridges Between Subriemannian Geometry and Algebraic Geometry

open access: yes, 2014
We consider how the problem of determining normal forms for a specific class of nonholonomic systems leads to various interesting and concrete bridges between two apparently unrelated themes.

Invertible Carnot Groups [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We characterize Carnot groups admitting a 1-quasiconformal metric inversion as the Lie groups of Heisenberg type whose Lie algebras satisfy the $J^2$-condition, thus characterizing a special case of inversion invariant bi-Lipschitz homogeneity.
