A Natural Connection on (2, 3) Sub-riemannian Manifolds
We build an analogue for the Levi-Civita connection on Riemannian manifolds for sub-Riemannian manfiolds modeled on the Heisenberg group. We demonstrate some geometric properties of this connection to justify our choice and show that this connection is unique in having these properties.
متن کامل. 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...
متن کاملOn Jacobi Fields and a Canonical Connection in Sub-riemannian Geometry
In sub-Riemannian geometry the coefficients of the Jacobi equation define curvature-like invariants. We show that these coefficients can be interpreted as the curvature of a canonical Ehresmann connection associated to the metric, first introduced in [15]. We show why this connection is naturally nonlinear, and we discuss some of its properties.
متن کاملOn Sublaplacians of Sub-riemannian Manifolds
In this note we address a notion of sublaplacians of sub-Riemannian manifolds. In particular for fat sub-Riemannian manifolds we answered the sublaplacian question proposed by R. Montgomery in [21, p.142]
متن کاملMass Transportation on Sub-Riemannian Manifolds
We study the optimal transport problem in sub-Riemannian manifolds where the cost function is given by the square of the sub-Riemannian distance. Under appropriate assumptions, we generalize Brenier-McCann’s Theorem proving existence and uniqueness of the optimal transport map. We show the absolute continuity property of Wassertein geodesics, and we address the regularity issue of the optimal m...
