Topics in sub-Riemannian geometry
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 ...

Positive paths in diffeomorphism groups of manifolds with a contact distribution
Abstract Given a cooriented contact manifold (M,ξ)$(M,\xi)$, it is possible to define a notion of positivity on the group Diff(M)$\mathrm{Diff}(M)$ of diffeomorphisms of M$M$, by looking at paths of diffeomorphisms that are positively transverse to the contact distribution ξ$\xi$.

Siegel–Veech constants for cyclic covers of generic translation surfaces
Abstract We compute the asymptotic number of cylinders, weighted by their area to any nonnegative power, on any cyclic branched cover of any generic translation surface in any stratum. Our formulae depend only on topological invariants of the cover and number‐theoretic properties of the degree: in particular, the ratio of the related Siegel–Veech ...

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

Beyond the Hodge theorem: Curl and asymmetric pseudodifferential projections
Abstract We develop a new approach to the study of spectral asymmetry. Working with the operator curl:=∗d$\operatorname{curl}:={*}\mathrm{d}$ on a connected oriented closed Riemannian 3‐manifold, we construct, by means of microlocal analysis, the asymmetry operator — a scalar pseudodifferential operator of order −3$-3$.

A microfluidics‐integrated chiral quasi‐BIC metachip is developed that generates strong broadband CD from 0.5–2.0 THz in aqueous environments. A UMAP algorithm processes the resulting multidimensional CD features for simultaneous biomolecular conformation identification and concentration quantification (0.05–0.3 mg dL−1).

Left-invariant paracontact metric structure on a group Sol
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.

In this paper we study heat kernels associated with a Carnot group G, endowed with a family of collapsing left-invariant Riemannian metrics σε which converge in the Gromov- Hausdorff sense to a sub-Riemannian structure on G as ε→ 0.

(Random) Trees of Intermediate Volume Growth
ABSTRACT For every function g:ℝ≥0→ℝ≥0$$ g:{\mathbb{R}}_{\ge 0}\to {\mathbb{R}}_{\ge 0} $$ that grows at least linearly and at most exponentially, if it is sufficiently well‐behaved, we can construct a tree T$$ T $$ of uniform volume growth g$$ g $$, or more precisely, C1·g(r/4)≤|BG(v,r)|≤C2·g(4r),for allr≥0andv∈V(T),$$ {C}_1\cdotp g\left(r/4\right)\le \
