On Hausdorff Measures of Curves in Sub-Riemannian Geometry

چکیده

In sub-Riemannian geometry, the length of a non-horizontal path is not defined (or is equal to +∞). However several other notions allow to measure a path, such as the Hausdorff measures, the class of k-dimensional lengths introduced in [2], or notions based on approximations by discrete sets, like the nonholonomic interpolation complexity and the entropy (see [8, 10]). The purpose of this paper is to compare these different notions and to extend our knowledge of the k-lengths, the entropy and the complexity to the Hausdorff measures. We show in particular that k-lengths coincide with the Hausdorff measures, thus providing an integral representation of these measures and the value of the Hausdorff dimension. We also give asymptotics of the entropy and of the nonholonomic interpolation complexity in function of the Hausdorff measures, which in turn allow to compute these measures in many cases.

Sub-Lorentzian Geometry on Anti-de Sitter Space

Sub-Riemannian Geometry is proved to play an important role in many applications, e.g., Mathematical Physics and Control Theory. Sub-Riemannian Geometry enjoys major differences from the Riemannian being a generalization of the latter at the same time, e.g., geodesics are not unique and may be singular, the Hausdorff dimension is larger than the manifold topological dimension. There exists a la...

Lipschitz and Path Isometric Embeddings of Metric Spaces

We prove that each sub-Riemannian manifold can be embedded in some Euclidean space preserving the length of all the curves in the manifold. The result is an extension of Nash C Embedding Theorem. For more general metric spaces the same result is false, e.g., for Finsler non-Riemannian manifolds. However, we also show that any metric space of finite Hausdorff dimension can be embedded in some Eu...

On the Spherical Hausdorff Measure in Step 2 Corank 2 Sub-Riemannian Geometry

In this paper, we consider generic corank 2 sub-Riemannian structures, and we show that the Spherical Hausdorf measure is always a C-smooth volume, which is in fact generically Csmooth out of a stratified subset of codimension 7. In particular, for rank 4, it is generically C 2 . This is the continuation of a previous work by the auhors. subjclass: 53C17, 49J15, 58C35

On the Hausdorff volume in sub-Riemannian geometry

For a regular sub-Riemannian manifold we study the Radon-Nikodym derivative of the spherical Hausdorff measure with respect to a smooth volume. We prove that this is the volume of the unit ball in the nilpotent approximation and it is always a continuous function. We then prove that up to dimension 4 it is smooth, while starting from dimension 5, in corank 1 case, it is C (and C on every curve)...

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...
