Curvature and the equivalence problem in sub-Riemannian geometry
Archivum Mathematicum, 2022 These notes give an introduction to the equivalence problem of sub-Riemannian manifolds. We first introduce preliminaries in terms of connections, frame bundles and sub-Riemannian geometry. Then we arrive to the main aim of these notes, which is to give the description of the canonical grading and connection existing on sub-Riemann manifolds with ...

Sub-Riemannian Geometry of Curves and Surfaces in Roto-Translation Group Associated with Canonical Connection [PDF]
MathematicsThe aim of this paper is to obtain the sub-Riemannian properties of the roto-translation group RT. At the same time, we compute the sub-Riemannian limits of Gaussian curvature associated with two kinds of canonical connections for a C2-smooth surface in ...

Entropy and complexity of a path in sub-Riemannian geometry [PDF]
ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations, 2003 Summary: We characterize the geometry of a path in a sub-Riemannian manifold using two metric invariants, the entropy and the complexity. The entropy of a subset A of a metric space is the minimum number of balls of a given radius needed to cover A. It allows one to compute the Hausdorff dimension in some cases and to bound it from above in general. We

Symplectic, Hofer and sub-Riemannian geometry
, 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.

C-R Immersions and Sub-Riemannian Geometry
Axioms, 2023 On any strictly pseudoconvex CR manifold M, of CR dimension n, equipped with a positively oriented contact form θ, we consider natural ϵ-contractions, i.e., contractions gϵM of the Levi form Gθ, such that the norm of the Reeb vector field T of (M, θ) is ...

Branching Geodesics in Sub-Riemannian Geometry [PDF]
Geometric and Functional Analysis, 2020 In this note, we show that sub-Riemannian manifolds can contain branching normal minimizing geodesics. This phenomenon occurs if and only if a normal geodesic has a discontinuity in its rank at a non-zero time, which in particular for a strictly normal geodesic means that it contains a non-trivial abnormal subsegment.

On measures in sub-Riemannian geometry [PDF]
Séminaire de théorie spectrale et géométrie, 2018 In \cite{gjha} we give a detailed analysis of spherical Hausdorff measures on sub-Riemannian manifolds in a general framework, that is, without the assumption of equiregularity. The present paper is devised as a complement of this analysis, with both new results and open questions.

Advanced Nonlinear Studies, 2022 In this article, we establish a Gaffney type inequality, in Wℓ,p{W}^{\ell ,p}-Sobolev spaces, for differential forms on sub-Riemannian contact manifolds without boundary, having bounded geometry (hence, in particular, we have in mind noncompact manifolds)
