The Poincaré Lemma in Subriemannian Geometry
This work is a short, self-contained introduction to subriemannian geometry with special emphasis on Chow’s Theorem. As an application, a regularity result for the the Poincaré Lemma is presented. At the beginning, the definitions of a subriemannian geometry, horizontal vectorfields and horizontal curves are given. Then the question arises: Can any two points be connected by a horizontal curve?...
متن کاملOn the Geometry of Simplices in Minkowski Spaces
Let T be a d-dimensional simplex in a d-dimensional real normed space (= Minkowski space). We introduce a special Minkowskian area-measure and Minkowskian trilinear coordinates with respect to T, allowing us to study Minkowskian balls which are tangent to all hyperplanes determined by the facets of T. Finally we apply the derived statements to characterize simplices having special Minkowskian p...
متن کاملA Non-integrable Subriemannian Geodesic Flow on a Carnot Group
AND Abstract. Graded nilpotent Lie groups, or Carnot Groups are to subRiemannian geometry as Euclidean spaces are to Riemannian geometry. They are the metric tangent cones for this geometry. Hoping that the analogy between subRiemannian and Riemannian geometry is a strong one, one might conjecture that the subRiemannian geo-desic ow on any Carnot group is completely integrable. We prove this co...

متن کاملA. Agrachev COMPACTNESS FOR SUB-RIEMANNIAN LENGTH-MINIMIZERS AND SUBANALYTICITY
We establish compactness properties for sets of length-minimizing admissible paths of a prescribed small length. This implies subanayticity of small subRiemannian balls for a wide class of real-analytic sub-Riemannian structures: for any structure without abnormal minimizers and for many structures without strictly abnormal minimizers.
