A Comprehensive Introduction to Sub-Riemannian Geometry [PDF]
Sub-Riemannian geometry is the geometry of a world with nonholonomic constraints. In such a world, one can move, send and receive information only in certain admissible directions but eventually can reach every position from any other. In the last two decades sub-Riemannian geometry has emerged as an independent research domain impacting on several ...

Topics in sub-Riemannian geometry [PDF]
This thesis is concerned with three different problems in sub-Riemannian geometry faced during my PhD. The first one is a problem in differential geometry and is about the local conformal classification of a certain class of sub-Riemannian structures. In the second one we deal with topology, and our main result establish some path-fibration properties ...

Integrable quadratic Hamiltonians on the Euclidean group of motions [PDF]
This paper tackles the problem of globally computing sub-Riemannian curves on the Euclidean group of motions SE(3). In particular we derive a global result for special sub-Riemannian curves for which their Hamiltonian satisfies a particular condition ...

Integral Formulas for Almost Product Manifolds and Foliations
Integral formulas are powerful tools used to obtain global results in geometry and analysis. The integral formulas for almost multi-product manifolds, foliations and multiply twisted products of Riemannian, metric-affine and sub-Riemannian manifolds, to ...

Intrinsic fractional Taylor formula
We consider a class of non-local ultraparabolic Kolmogorov operators and a suitable fractional Holder spaces that take into account the intrinsic sub-riemannian geometry induced by the operators.

Characteristic Laplacian in Sub-Riemannian Geometry [PDF]
We study a Laplacian operator related to the characteristic cohomology of a smooth manifold endowed with a distribution. We prove that this Laplacian does not behave very well: it is not hypoelliptic in general and does not respect the bigrading on forms in a complex setting.

Nonholonomic Systems and Sub-Riemannian Geometry [PDF]
This paper presents several classical mechanical systems with nonholonomic con- straints from the point of view of sub-Riemannian geometry. For those systems that satisfy the bracket generating condition the system can move continuously between any two given states.

We present a novel cortically-inspired image completion algorithm. It uses five-dimensional sub-Riemannian cortical geometry, modeling the orientation, spatial frequency and phase-selective behavior of the cells in the visual cortex.
