Existence of isoperimetric regions in sub-Finsler nilpotent groups

open access: yesAnalysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces
We consider a nilpotent Lie group with a bracket-generating distribution ℋ{\mathcal{ {\mathcal H} }} and an asymmetric left-invariant norm ∣⋅∣K{| \cdot | }_{K} induced by a convex body K⊆RkK\subseteq {{\mathbb{R}}}^{k} containing 0 in its interior.

Subdifferentials and minimizing Sard conjecture in sub-Riemannian geometry

open access: yesJournal de l’École polytechnique — Mathématiques, 2023
We use techniques from nonsmooth analysis and geometric measure theory to provide new examples of complete sub-Riemannian structures satisfying the Minimizing Sard conjecture. In particular, we show that complete sub-Riemannian structures associated with distributions of co-rank 2 or generic distributions of rank ≥2 satisfy the Minimizing Sard ...

New second-order optimality conditions in sub-riemannian geometry

open access: yesESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations, 2023
We study the geometry of the second-order expansion of the extended end-point map for the sub-Riemannian geodesic problem. Translating the geometric reality into equations we derive new second-order necessary optimality conditions in sub-Riemannian Geometry. In particular, we find an ODE for velocity of an abnormal sub-Riemannian geodesics.

Curvature exponent and geodesic dimension on Sard-regular Carnot groups

open access: yesAnalysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces
In this study, we characterize the geodesic dimension NGEO{N}_{{\rm{GEO}}} and give a new lower bound to the curvature exponent NCE{N}_{{\rm{CE}}} on Sard-regular Carnot groups.

Symplectic, Hofer and sub-Riemannian geometry

open access: yes, 2002
The purpose of this note is to make some connection between the sub-Riemannian geometry on Carnot-Caratheodory groups and symplectic geometry. We shall concentrate here on the Heisenberg group, although it is transparent that almost everything can be done on a general Carnot-Caratheodory group.

Dilatation structures in sub-riemannian geometry

open access: yes, 2007
Based on the notion of dilatation structure arXiv:math/0608536, we give an intrinsic treatment to sub-riemannian geometry, started in the paper arXiv:0706.3644 . Here we prove that regular sub-riemannian manifolds admit dilatation structures. From the existence of normal frames proved by Bellaiche we deduce the rest of the properties of regular sub ...

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}}),

Good continuation in 3D: the neurogeometry of stereo vision

open access: yesFrontiers in Computer Science
Classical good continuation for image curves is based on 2D position and orientation. It is supported by the columnar organization of cortex, by psychophysical experiments, and by rich models of (differential) geometry.
