On the role of abnormal minimizers in sub-Riemannian geometry
نویسندگان
چکیده
Consider a sub-Riemannian geometry (U, D, g) where U is a neighborhood at 0 in IRn, D is a rank-2 smooth (C∞ or Cω) distribution and g is a smooth metric on D. The objective of this article is to explain the role of abnormal minimizers in SR-geometry. It is based on the analysis of the Martinet SR-geometry.

A. 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.
متن کاملThe regularity problem for sub-Riemannian geodesics
One of the main open problems in sub-Riemannian geometry is the regularity of length minimizing curves, see [12, Problem 10.1]. All known examples of length minimizing curves are smooth. On the other hand, there is no regularity theory of a general character for sub-Riemannian geodesics. It was originally claimed by Strichartz in [15] that length minimizing curves are smooth, all of them being ...
متن کاملA 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. ...

This paper presents new conditions under which sub-Riemannian distance can be measured by means of a C 1 sub-Riemannian geodesic.
متن کاملConnections in sub-Riemannian geometry
We introduce the notion of a connection over a bundle map and apply it to a sub-Riemannian geometry. It is shown that the concepts of normal and abnormal extremals of a sub-Riemannian structure can be characterized as parallel transported sections with respect to these generalized connections. Using this formalism we are able to give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a sp...
