Moving frames for cotangent bundles

open access: yes, 2002
Cartan's moving frames method is a standard tool in riemannian geometry. We set up the machinery for applying moving frames to cotangent bundles and its sub-bundles defined by non-holonomic constraints.Comment: 13 pages, to appear in Rep.

On measures in sub-Riemannian geometry [PDF]

open access: yesSéminaire de théorie spectrale et géométrie, 2018
In [9] 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.

On an evolution equation in sub-Finsler geometry

open access: yesAnalysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces
We study the gradient flow of an energy with mixed homogeneity, which is at the interface of Finsler and sub-Riemannian geometry.

Corrections to: ``Sub-Riemannian geometry''

open access: yesJournal of Differential Geometry, 1989
An error in the proof of Corollary 6.2 of [1] has been pointed out by Gerard Ben-Arous. The computation of M(x,λ) in the case λo = 0 on p. 243 is incorrect, because M(x,λ) = 0 when λ0 = 0 and λjg (x) = 0 for all k. (There is also a factor of \ missing in the formula as stated for λ0 φ 0, but this is not significant.) Thus when applying the Pontryagin ...

Braided spaces with dilations and sub-riemannian symmetric spaces [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Braided sets which are also spaces with dilations are presented and explored in this paper, in the general frame of emergent algebras arxiv:0907.1520. Examples of such spaces are the sub-riemannian symmetric spaces.

Topics in sub-Riemannian geometry

open access: yesRussian Mathematical Surveys, 2016
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 ...

Regularity of solutions of the isoperimetric problem that are close to a smooth manifold

open access: yes, 2017
In this work we consider a question in the calculus of variations motivated by riemannian geometry, the isoperimetric problem. We show that solutions to the isoperimetric problem, close in the flat norm to a smooth submanifold, are themselves smooth and $

Sub-semi-Riemannian geometry on $H$-type groups [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We consider $H$(eisenberg)-type groups whose law of left translation gives rise to a bracket generating distribution of step 2. In the contrast with sub-Riemannian studies we furnish the horizontal distribution with a nondegenerate indefinite metric of ...

BiLipschitz Decomposition of Lipschitz Maps between Carnot Groups

open access: yesAnalysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces, 2015
Let f : G → H be a Lipschitz map between two Carnot groups. We show that if B is a ball of G, then there exists a subset Z ⊂ B, whose image in H under f has small Hausdorff content, such that B\Z can be decomposed into a controlled number of pieces, the ...

Left-invariant paracontact metric structure on a group Sol

open access: yesДифференциальная геометрия многообразий фигур
Among Thurston's famous list of eight three-dimensional geometries is the geometry of the manifold Sol. The variety Sol is a connected simply connected Lie group of real matrices of a special form.
