Sub-Riemannian geometry, Hamiltonian dynamics, micro-swimmers, copepod nauplii and copepod robot
The objective of this article is to present the seminal concepts and techniques of Sub-Riemannian geometry and Hamiltonian dynamics, complemented by adapted software to analyze the dynamics of the copepod micro-swimmer, where the model of swimming is the

Gauss-Bonnet theorem in Lorentzian Sasakian space forms
In this paper, we use a Lorentzian approximation scheme to compute the sub-Lorentzian limit of curvatures for curves and Lorentzian surfaces in the Lorentzian Bianci-Cartan-Vranceanu model of 3-dimensional Lorentzian Sasakian space forms.

On geometry of sub-Riemannian η-Einstein manifolds
On a sub-Riemannian manifold of contact type a connection with torsion is considered, called in the work a Ψ-connection. A Ψ-connection is a particular case of an N-connection.

The regularity problem for geodesics of the control distance
In this survey, we present some recent results on the problem about the regularity of length-minimizing curves in sub-Riemannian geometry. We also sketch the possible application of some ideas coming from Geometric Measure Theory.

The left-invariant contact metric structure on the Sol manifold
Among the known eight-dimensional Thurston geometries, there is a geometry of the Sol manifold – a Lie group consisting of real special matrices. For a left-invariant Riemannian metric on the Sol manifold, the left shift group is a maximal simple ...

On the Subelliptic Eikonal Equation
On a bounded smooth domain, we consider the viscosity solution of the homogeneous Dirichlet problem for the eikonal equation associated with a system of Hörmander’s vector fields.

Sub-Lorentzian Geometry of Curves and Surfaces in a Lorentzian Lie Group
We consider the sub-Lorentzian geometry of curves and surfaces in the Lie group E1,1. Firstly, as an application of Riemannian approximants scheme, we give the definition of Lorentzian approximants scheme for E1,1 which is a sequence of Lorentzian ...

How smooth is quantum complexity?
The “quantum complexity” of a unitary operator measures the difficulty of its construction from a set of elementary quantum gates. While the notion of quantum complexity was first introduced as a quantum generalization of the classical computational ...

Liouville Integrability in a Four-Dimensional Model of the Visual Cortex
We consider a natural extension of the Petitot–Citti–Sarti model of the primary visual cortex. In the extended model, the curvature of contours is taken into account.
