چکیده

We derive a formula for the first variation of horizontal perimeter measure for C2 hypersurfaces of completely general sub-Riemannian manifolds, allowing for the existence of characteristic points. When the manifold admits dilations, we establish a sub-Riemannian Minkowski formula. For C2 hypersurfaces in vertically rigid sub-Riemannian manifolds we also produce a second variation formula for variations supported away from the characteristic locus.

BV functions and sets of finite perimeter in sub-Riemannian manifolds

We give a notion of BV function on an oriented manifold where a volume form and a family of lower semicontinuous quadratic forms Gp : TpM → [0,∞] are given. When we consider sub-Riemannian manifolds, our definition coincides with the one given in the more general context of metric measure spaces which are doubling and support a Poincaré inequality. We focus on finite perimeter sets, i.e., sets ...

A Geometry Preserving Kernel over Riemannian Manifolds

Abstract- Kernel trick and projection to tangent spaces are two choices for linearizing the data points lying on Riemannian manifolds. These approaches are used to provide the prerequisites for applying standard machine learning methods on Riemannian manifolds. Classical kernels implicitly project data to high dimensional feature space without considering the intrinsic geometry of data points. ...

On the Spherical Hausdorff Measure in Step 2 Corank 2 Sub-Riemannian Geometry

In this paper, we consider generic corank 2 sub-Riemannian structures, and we show that the Spherical Hausdorf measure is always a C-smooth volume, which is in fact generically Csmooth out of a stratified subset of codimension 7. In particular, for rank 4, it is generically C 2 . This is the continuation of a previous work by the auhors. subjclass: 53C17, 49J15, 58C35

Sub-Lorentzian Geometry on Anti-de Sitter Space

Sub-Riemannian Geometry is proved to play an important role in many applications, e.g., Mathematical Physics and Control Theory. Sub-Riemannian Geometry enjoys major differences from the Riemannian being a generalization of the latter at the same time, e.g., geodesics are not unique and may be singular, the Hausdorff dimension is larger than the manifold topological dimension. There exists a la...

. Measure Contraction Properties of Contact Sub-riemannian Manifolds with Symmetry

Measure contraction properties are generalizations of the notion of Ricci curvature lower bounds in Riemannian geometry to more general metric measure spaces. In this paper, we give sufficient conditions for a contact sub-Riemannian manifold with a one-parameter family of symmetries to satisfy these properties. Moreover, in the special case where the quotient of the contact subRiemannian manifo...
