Analytic torsion of nilmanifolds with (2, 3, 5) distributions

open access: yesAnalysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces
We consider generic rank two distributions on five-dimensional nilmanifolds and show that the analytic torsion of their Rumin complex coincides with the Ray-Singer torsion.

Comparing three possible hypoelliptic Laplacians on the 5-dimensional Cartan group via div-curl type estimates

open access: yesAdvanced Nonlinear Studies
On general Carnot groups, the definition of a possible hypoelliptic Hodge-Laplacian on forms using the Rumin complex has been considered in (M. Rumin, “Differential geometry on C-C spaces and application to the Novikov-Shubin numbers of nilpotent Lie ...

Geometry of sub-Riemannian diffusion processes

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. In this thesis, we analysis some of the aspects of sub-Riemannian diffusion processes on manifolds.

Singularities in sub-Riemannian geometry

open access: yes, 2018
We investigate the relationship between features of of sub-Riemannian geometry and an array of singularities that typically arise in this context.With sub-Riemannian Whitney theorems, we ensure the existence of global extensions of horizontal curves defined on closed set by requiring a non-singularity hypothesis on the endpoint-map of the nilpotent ...

Sub-riemannian geometry from intrinsic viewpoint

open access: yes, 2012
These are the notes prepared for the course "Metric spaces with dilations and sub-riemannian geometry from intrinsic point of view", CIMPA research school on sub-riemannian geometry (2012). Unitary exposition based on several previous papers of mine, especially arXiv:0810.5042, hopefully with many details, explanations and some proofs which I ...

Viscosity solutions to the ∞-Laplace equation in Grushin-type spaces

open access: yesModern Mathematical Methods
In this paper, we prove the existence and uniqueness of viscosity solutions to the infinite Laplace equation in Grushin-type spaces whose tangent spaces consist of arbitrary triangular vector fields.
