Sub-Riemannian Geometry and Optimal Transport

SpringerBriefs in Mathematics, 2014
The book provides an introduction to sub-Riemannian geometry and optimal transport and presents some of the recent progress in these two fields. The text is completely self-contained: the linear discussion, containing all the proofs of the stated results, leads the reader step by step from the notion of distribution at the very beginning to the ...

Sub-Riemannian Geometry

2009
Sub-Riemannian manifolds are manifolds with the Heisenberg principle built in. This comprehensive text and reference begins by introducing the theory of sub-Riemannian manifolds using a variational approach in which all properties are obtained from minimum principles, a robust method that is novel in this context.

The tangent space in sub-Riemannian geometry

Journal of Mathematical Sciences, 1996
Let \(M\) be a sub-Riemannian manifold. Suppose that the Hörmander condition holds. Then to each point \(p\in M\) we can associate its degree of nonholonomy \(r(p)\) which counts how many bracket iterations of horizontal vector fields near \(p\) are needed to span the tangent space \(T_pM\).

Sub-Riemannian geometry and nonholonomic mechanics

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2011
The purpose of the present paper is to study the geometry of a sub‐Riemannian manifold and to apply the results to the nonholonomic mechanical systems. First, we construct a linear connection on the horizontal distribution and obtain some Bianchi identities for it.
