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 ...

On the Hausdorff volume in sub-Riemannian geometry [PDF]

open access: yesCalculus of Variations and Partial Differential Equations, 2011
For a regular sub-Riemannian manifold we study the Radon-Nikodym derivative of the spherical Hausdorff measure with respect to a smooth volume. We prove that this is the volume of the unit ball in the nilpotent approximation and it is always a continuous function.

Integrating Hamiltonian systems defined on the Lie groups SO(4) and SO(1,3) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
This paper examines optimal solutions of control systems with drift defined on the orthonormal frame bundle of particular Riemannian manifolds of constant curvature. The manifolds considered here are the space forms Euclidean space E³, the spheres S³ and

Geometry of sub-Riemannian diffusion processes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Sub-Riemannian geometry is the natural setting for studying dynamical systems, as noise often has a lower dimension than the dynamics it enters. This makes sub-Riemannian geometry an important field of study.

Sub-Riemannian geometry of parallelizable spheres

open access: yesRevista Matemática Iberoamericana, 2011
The first aim of the present paper is to compare various sub-Riemannian structures over the three dimensional sphere S^3 originating from different constructions. Namely, we describe the sub-Riemannian geometry of S^3 arising through

Degenerate Foliations in Sasakian Semi-Riemannian Manifolds [PDF]

open access: yes
In the Semi-Riemannian case we do not have the liability of the existence of such a metric being a difference from the Riemannian case. A Semi-Riemannian manifold provided with a normal contact metric structure is called Sasakian manifold.Semi-Riemannian,

A Primer on Carnot Groups: Homogenous Groups, Carnot-Carathéodory Spaces, and Regularity of Their Isometries

open access: yesAnalysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces, 2018
Carnot groups are distinguished spaces that are rich of structure: they are those Lie groups equipped with a path distance that is invariant by left-translations of the group and admit automorphisms that are dilations with respect to the distance.

A note on the diameter of small sub-Riemannian balls

open access: yesAnalysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces
We observe that the diameter of small (in a locally uniform sense) balls in C 1,1 sub-Riemannian manifolds equals twice the radius. We also prove that, when the regularity of the structure is further lowered to C 0, the diameter is arbitrarily close to ...

Sub-Riemannian Geometry of Curves and Surfaces in Roto-Translation Group Associated with Canonical Connection

open access: yesMathematics
The aim of this paper is to obtain the sub-Riemannian properties of the roto-translation group RT. At the same time, we compute the sub-Riemannian limits of Gaussian curvature associated with two kinds of canonical connections for a C2-smooth surface in ...
