Riemannian metrics on 2D-manifolds related to the Euler−Poinsot rigid body motion
The Euler−Poinsot rigid body motion is a standard mechanical system and it is a model for left-invariant Riemannian metrics on SO(3). In this article using the Serret−Andoyer variables we parameterize the solutions and compute the Jacobi fields in relation with the conjugate locus evaluation. Moreover, the metric can be restricted to a 2D-surface, and the conjugate points of this metric are evaluated using recent works on surfaces of revolution. Another related 2D-metric on S2 associated to the...

Some results on the calculus of variations on jet spaces
Symmetries and currents in nonholonomic mechanics
In this paper we derive general equations for constraint Noethertype symmetries of a first order non-holonomic mechanical system and the corresponding currents, i.e. functions constant along trajectories of the nonholonomic system. The approach is based on a consistent and effective geometrical theory of nonholonomic constrained systems on fibred manifolds and their jet prolongations, first presented and developed by Olga Rossi. As a representative example of application of the geometrical theory...

The H–1-norm of tubular neighbourhoods of curves
We study the H–1-norm of the function 1 on tubular neighbourhoods of curves in . We take the limit of small thicknessε, and we prove two different asymptotic results. The first is an asymptotic development for a fixed curve in the limit ε → 0, containing contributions from the length of the curve (at order ε3), the ends (ε4), and the curvature (ε5). The second result is a Γ-convergence result, in which the central curve may vary along the sequence ε → 0. We prove that a rescaled version of the...

Uniqueness results for operators in the variational sequence
We prove that the most interesting operators in the Euler-Lagrange complex from the variational bicomplex in infinite order jet spaces are determined up to multiplicative constant by the naturality requirement, provided the fibres of fibred manifolds have sufficiently large dimension. This result clarifies several important phenomena of the variational calculus on fibred manifolds.
