Sub-Riemannian Geometry of Stiefel Manifolds [PDF]
In the paper we consider the Stiefel manifold $V_{n;k}$ as a principal $U(k)$- bundle over the Grassmann manifold and study the cut locus from the unit element. We gave the complete description of this cut locus on $V_{n;1}$ and presented the sufficient condition on the general case. At the end, we study the complement to the cut locus of $V_{2k;k}$.

The group of rigid motions of the Minkowski plane with a general left-invariant metric is denoted by E1,1,gλ1,λ2, where λ1≥λ2>0. It provides a natural 2-parametric deformation family of the Riemannian homogeneous manifold Sol3=E1,1,g1,1 which is the ...

Integral Formulas for a Foliation with a Unit Normal Vector Field
In this article, we prove integral formulas for a Riemannian manifold equipped with a foliation F and a unit vector field N orthogonal to F, and generalize known integral formulas (due to Brito-Langevin-Rosenberg and Andrzejewski-Walczak) for foliations ...

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 ...

Anisotropically Weighted and Nonholonomically Constrained Evolutions on Manifolds
We present evolution equations for a family of paths that results from anisotropically weighting curve energies in non-linear statistics of manifold valued data. This situation arises when performing inference on data that have non-trivial covariance and

Sub-Lorentzian Geometry on Anti-De Sitter Space [PDF]
Sub-Riemannian Geometry is proved to play an important role in many applications, e.g., Mathematical Physics and Control Theory. The simplest example of sub-Riemannian structure is provided by the 3-D Heisenberg group.

On 4-dimensional Einsteinian manifolds with parallel null distribution [PDF]
In this paper, we investigate the Einsteinian manifolds with parallel null distribution. For this purpose, we first obtain the equations, which are known as Einstein's equations, that lead to finding the mentioned manifolds and then, we reduce Einstein's

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.

Curvature-dimension inequalities on sub-Riemannian manifolds obtained from Riemannian foliations, Part I [PDF]
We give a generalized curvature-dimension inequality connecting the geometry of sub-Riemannian manifolds with the properties of its sub-Laplacian. This inequality is valid on a large class of sub-Riemannian manifolds obtained from Riemannian foliations ...
