چکیده

In this paper we analyze left invariant geodesic problems on matrix Lie groups from both the continuous and discrete viewpoint; the discrete approach approximates the continuous description. We show how the dynamic systems characterizing the extremals also arise from a generalization of the geodesic problem posed as an optimal control problem. We investigate conserved quantities and invariant manifolds. All the results presented have continuous and discrete formulations. In particular we obtain the same conserved quantities and invariant manifolds for both the continuous and discrete dynamics. c ©Controlo 2010

Normal geodesics associated to driftless control systems on step-2 simply connected nilpotent Lie groups

We present in this talk some recent results on the geodesic problem defined by means of a left invariant distribution of rank n on a step-2 simply connected nilpotent Lie group G of dimension n(n + 1)/2. From the control theory point of view, the distribution defines a driftless control system which together with the energy functional for admissible curves, determines a well defined optimal con...

Optimal Control and Geodesics on Quadratic Matrix Lie Groups

In this paper, we consider some matrix subgroups of the general linear group and in particular the special linear group that are defined by a quadratic matrix identity. The Lie algebras corresponding to these matrix groups include several classical semisimple matrix Lie algebras. We describe an optimal control problem on these groups which gives rise to geodesic flows with respect to a positive...

Homogeneous geodesics of non-unimodular Lorentzian Lie groups and naturally reductive Lorentzian spaces in dimension three

We determine, for all three-dimensional non-unimodular Lie groups equipped with a Lorentzian metric, the set of homogeneous geodesics through a point. Together with the results of [C] and [CM2], this leads to the full classification of three-dimensional Lorentzian g.o. spaces and naturally reductive spaces.

A Note on Carnot Geodesics in Nilpotent Lie Groups

We show that strictly abnormal geodesics arise in graded nilpotent Lie groups. We construct such a group, for which some Carnot geodesics are strictly abnormal and, in fact, not normal in any subgroup. In the 2-step case we also prove that these geodesics are always smooth. Our main technique is based on the equations for the normal and abnormal curves, that we derive (for any Lie group) explic...

Geodesically Complete Lorentzian Metrics on Some Homogeneous 3 Manifolds

In this work it is shown that a necessary condition for the completeness of the geodesics of left invariant pseudo-Riemannian metrics on Lie groups is also sufficient in the case of 3-dimensional unimodular Lie groups, and not sufficient for 3-dimensional non unimodular Lie groups. As a consequence it is possible to identify, amongst the compact locally homogeneous Lorentzian 3-manifolds with n...
