Moving frames for cotangent bundles

open access: yes, 2002
Cartan's moving frames method is a standard tool in riemannian geometry. We set up the machinery for applying moving frames to cotangent bundles and its sub-bundles defined by non-holonomic constraints.Comment: 13 pages, to appear in Rep.

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 ...

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 ...

BiLipschitz Decomposition of Lipschitz Maps between Carnot Groups

open access: yesAnalysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces, 2015
Let f : G → H be a Lipschitz map between two Carnot groups. We show that if B is a ball of G, then there exists a subset Z ⊂ B, whose image in H under f has small Hausdorff content, such that B\Z can be decomposed into a controlled number of pieces, the ...

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.

Rigidity of quasiconformal maps on Carnot groups [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We show that quasiconformal maps on many Carnot groups must be biLipschitz. In particular, this is the case for 2-step Carnot groups with reducible first layer. These results have implications for the rigidity of quasiisometries between negatively curved solvable Lie groups.

Metric lines in the jet space

open access: yesAnalysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces
In the realm of sub-Riemannian manifolds, a relevant question is: what are the metric lines (isometric embedding of the real line)? The space of kk-jets of a real function of one real variable xx, denoted by Jk(R,R){J}^{k}\left({\mathbb{R}},{\mathbb{R}}),

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

Isoperimetric problem in H-type groups and Grushin spaces [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We study the isoperimetric problem in H-type groups and Grushin spaces, emphasizing a relation between them. We prove existence, symmetry and regularity properties of isoperimetric sets, under a symmetry assumption that depends on the dimension.
