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 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

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.

An Inverse Problem from sub-Riemannian geometry [PDF]
The geodesics for a sub-Riemannian metric on a three-dimensional contact manifold $M$ form a 1-parameter family of curves along each contact direction. However, a collection of such contact curves on $M$, locally equivalent to the solutions of a fourth-order ODE, are the geodesics of a sub-Riemannian metric only if a sequence of invariants vanish.

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 ...

On the role of abnormal minimizers in sub-riemannian geometry [PDF]
Consider a sub-Riemannian geometry $(U,D,g)$ where $U$ is a neighborhood at 0 in $\R^n,$ $D$ is a rank-2 smooth $(C^\infty $ or $C^ω)$ distribution and $g$ is a smooth metric on $D$. The objective of this article is to explain the role of abnormal minimizers in SR-geometry. It is based on the analysis of the Martinet SR-geometry.
