Numerical Methods and Closed Orbits in the Kepler-Heisenberg Problem
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
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
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]
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 ...

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
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
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]
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.
