چکیده
In this paper we study the Hausdorff volume in a non equiregular sub-Riemannian manifold and we compare it with a smooth volume. We first give the Lebesgue decomposition of the Hausdorff volume. Then we study the regular part, show that it is not commensurable with the smooth volume, and give conditions under which it is a Radon measure. We finally give a complete characterization of the singular part. We illustrate our results and techniques on numerous examples and cases (e.g. to generic sub-Riemannian structures).

Hausdorff measures and dimensions in non equiregular sub-Riemannian manifolds
This paper is a starting point towards computing the Hausdorff dimension of submanifolds and the Hausdorff volume of small balls in a sub-Riemannian manifold with singular points. We first consider the case of a strongly equiregular submanifold, i.e., a smooth submanifold N for which the growth vector of the distribution D and the growth vector of the intersection of D with TN are constant on N...
متن کاملCorners in Non-equiregular Sub-riemannian Manifolds
We prove that in a class of non-equiregular sub-Riemannian manifolds corners are not length minimizing. This extends the results of [4]. As an application of our main result we complete and simplify the analysis in [6], showing that in a 4-dimensional subRiemannian structure suggested by Agrachev and Gauthier all length-minimizing curves are smooth.

1 1 INTRODUCTION 2 1 Introduction Classical calculus is a basic tool in analysis. We use it so often that we forget that its construction needed considerable time and effort. Especially in the last decade, the progresses made in the field of analysis in metric spaces make us reconsider this calculus. Along this line of thought, all started with the definition of Pansu derivative [24] and its ve...
متن کاملIntrinsic random walks and sub-Laplacians in sub-Riemannian geometry
On a sub-Riemannian manifold we define two type of Laplacians. The macroscopic Laplacian ∆ω, as the divergence of the horizontal gradient, once a volume ω is fixed, and the microscopic Laplacian, as the operator associated with a sequence of geodesic random walks. We consider a general class of random walks, where all sub-Riemannian geodesics are taken in account. This operator depends only on ...
متن کاملDegenerations of Riemannian Manifolds
This is an expositiry article on collapsing theory written for the Modern Encyclopedia of Mathematical Physics (MEMPhys). We focus on describing the geometric and topological structure of collapsed/non-collapsed regions in Riemannian manifold under various curvature assumptions. Numerous applications of collapsing theory to Riemannian geometry are not discussed in this survey, due to page limit...
