Cut locus and optimal synthesis in the sub-Riemannian problem on the group of motions of a plane*

Yuri L. Sachkov (2011)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

The left-invariant sub-Riemannian problem on the group of motions (rototranslations) of a plane SE(2) is considered. In the previous works [Moiseev and Sachkov, ESAIM: COCV, DOI: 10.1051/cocv/2009004; Sachkov, ESAIM: COCV, DOI: 10.1051/cocv/2009031], extremal trajectories were defined, their local and global optimality were studied. In this paper the global structure of the exponential mapping is described. On this basis an explicit characterization of the cut locus and Maxwell set is obtained....

De Lellis-Topping type inequalities for f-Laplacians

Guangyue Huang, Fanqi Zeng (2016)

Studia Mathematica

We establish an integral geometric inequality on a closed Riemannian manifold with ∞-Bakry-Émery Ricci curvature bounded from below. We also obtain similar inequalities for Riemannian manifolds with totally geodesic boundary. In particular, our results generalize those of Wu (2014) for the ∞-Bakry-Émery Ricci curvature.

De Rham decomposition theorems for foliated manifolds

Robert A. Blumenthal, James J. Hebda (1983)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We prove that if M is a complete simply connected Riemannian manifold and F is a totally geodesic foliation of M with integrable normal bundle, then M is topologically a product and the two foliations are the product foliations. We also prove a decomposition theorem for Riemannian foliations and a structure theorem for Riemannian foliations with recurrent curvature.
