Abstract:
A sub-Riemannian manifold is a smooth manifold which carries a distribution equipped with a metric. We study the holonomy and the horizontal holonomy (i.e. holonomy spanned by loops everywhere tangent to the distribution) of sub-Riemannian manifolds of contact type relative to an adapted connection. In particular, we obtain an Ambrose–Singer type theorem for the horizontal holonomy and we classify the holonomy irreducible sub-Riemannian symmetric spaces (i.e. homogeneous sub-Riemannian manifolds admitting an involutive isometry whose restriction to the distribution is a central symmetry).

Abstract:
We study some sub-Riemannian objects (such as horizontal connectivity, horizontal connection, horizontal tangent plane, horizontal mean curvature) in hypersurfaces of sub-Riemannian manifolds. We prove that if a connected hypersurface in a contact manifold of dimension more than three is noncharacteristic or with isolated characteristic points, then there exists at least a piecewise smooth horizontal curve in this hypersurface connecting any two given points in it. In any sub-Riemannian manifold, we obtain the sub-Riemannian version of the fundamental theorem of Riemannian geometry: there exists a unique nonholonomic connection which is completely determined by the sub-Riemannian structure and is “symmetric” and compatible with the sub-Riemannian metric. We use this nonholonomic connection to study horizontal mean curvature of hypersurfaces.

Abstract:
We relate some constructions of stochastic analysis to differential geometry, via random walk approximations. We consider walks on both Riemannian and sub-Riemannian manifolds in which the steps consist of travel along either geodesics or integral curves associated to orthonormal frames, and we give particular attention to walks where the choice of step is influenced by a volume on the manifold. A primary motivation is to explore how one can pass, in the parabolic scaling limit, from geodesics, orthonormal frames, and/or volumes to diffusions, and hence their infinitesimal generators, on sub-Riemannian manifolds, which is interesting in light of the fact that there is no completely canonical notion of sub-Laplacian on a general sub-Riemannian manifold. However, even in the Riemannian case, this random walk approach illuminates the geometric significance of Ito and Stratonovich stochastic differential equations as well as the role played by the volume.

Abstract:
We study the geometry of a sub-Riemannian manifold (M, HM, VM, g), where HM and VM are the horizontal and vertical distribution respectively, and g is a Riemannian extension of the Riemannian metric on HM. First, without the assumption that HM and VM are orthogonal, we construct a sub- Riemannian connection ▽ on HM and prove some Bianchi identities for ▽. Then, we introduce the horizontal sectional curvature, prove a Schur theorem for sub-Riemannian geometry and find a class of sub-Riemannian manifolds of constant horizontal curvature. Finally, we define the horizontal Ricci tensor and scalar curvature, and some sub-Riemannian differential operators (gradient, divergence, Laplacian), extending some results from geometry to the sub-Riemannian setting.

Abstract:
On a sub-Riemannian manifold of contact type a connection  with torsion is considered, called in the work a Ψ-connection. A Ψ- connection is a particular case of an N-connection. On a sub-Riemannian manifold, a Ψ-connection is defined up to an endomorphism  :DD of a distribution D, this endomorphism is called in the work the structure endomorphism. The endomorphism ψ is uniquely defined by the following relations:  0,   (x, y)  g( x, y), x, yD. If the distribution of a sub-Riemannian manifold is integrable, then the Ψ-connection is of the class of the quarter-symmetric connections. It is proved that the Ψ- connection is a metric connection if and only if the structure vector field of the sub-Riemannian structure is integrable. A formula expressing the Ψ-connections in terms of the Levi-Civita connection of the sub- Riemannian manifold is obtained. The components of the curvature tensors and the Ricci-tensors of the Ψ-connection and of the Levi-Civita connection are computed. It is proved that if a sub-Riemannian manifold is an η-Einstein manifold, then it is also an η-Einstein manifold with respect to the Ψ-connection. The converse holds true only under the condition that the trace of the structure endomorphism Ψ is a constant not depending on a point of the manifold. The paper is completed by the theorem stating that a Sasaki manifold is an η-Einstein manifold if and only if M is an η-Einstein manifold with respect to the Ψ-connection.

Abstract:
In this article, we prove integral formulas for a Riemannian manifold equipped with a foliation F and a unit vector field N orthogonal to F, and generalize known integral formulas (due to Brito-Langevin-Rosenberg and Andrzejewski-Walczak) for foliations of codimension one. Our integral formulas involve Newton transformations of the shape operator of F with respect to N and the curvature tensor of the induced connection on the distribution D=TF⊕span(N), and this decomposition of D can be regarded as a codimension-one foliation of a sub-Riemannian manifold. We apply our formulas to foliated (sub-)Riemannian manifolds with restrictions on the curvature and extrinsic geometry of the foliation.

Abstract:
The article introduces invariants of a Riemannian manifold related to the mutual curvature of several pairwise orthogonal subspaces of a tangent bundle. In the case of one-dimensional subspaces, this curvature is equal to half the scalar curvature of the subspace spanned by them, and in the case of complementary subspaces, this is the mixed scalar curvature. We compared our invariants with Chen invariants and proved geometric inequalities with intermediate mean curvature squared for a Riemannian submanifold. This gives sufficient conditions for the absence of minimal isometric immersions of Riemannian manifolds in a Euclidean space. As applications, geometric inequalities were obtained for isometric immersions of sub-Riemannian manifolds and Riemannian manifolds equipped with mutually orthogonal distributions.

Abstract:
In this article, we obtain the following generalization of isometric C1-immersion theorem of Nash and Kuiper. Let M be a smooth manifold of dimension m and H a rank k subbundle of the tangent bundle TM with a Riemannian metric gH. Then the pair (H, gH) defines a sub-Riemannian structure on M. We call a C1-map f : (M, H, gH) → (N, h) into a Riemannian manifold (N, h) a partial isometry if the derivative map df restricted to H is isometric, that is if f*h|H = gH. We prove that if f0 : M → N is a smooth map such that df0|H is a bundle monomorphism and [Formula: see text], then f0 can be homotoped to a C1-map f : M → N which is a partial isometry, provided dim N > k. As a consequence of this result, we obtain that every sub-Riemannian manifold (M, H, gH) admits a partial isometry in ℝn, provided n ≥ m + k.

Abstract:
Abstract For an equiregular sub-Riemannian manifold M, Popp’s volume is a smooth volume which is canonically associated with the sub-Riemannian structure, and it is a natural generalization of the Riemannian one. In this paper we prove a general formula for Popp’s volume, written in terms of a frame adapted to the sub-Riemannian distribution. As a first application of this result, we prove an explicit formula for the canonical sub- Laplacian, namely the one associated with Popp’s volume. Finally, we discuss sub-Riemannian isometries, and we prove that they preserve Popp’s volume. We also show that, under some hypotheses on the action of the isometry group of M, Popp’s volume is essentially the unique volume with such a property.

Abstract:
We investigate certain natural connections between sub-Riemannian geometry and hyperbolic dynamical systems. In particular, we study dynamically defined horizontal distributions which split into two integrable ones and ask: how is the energy of a sub-Riemannian geodesic shared between its projections onto the integrable summands? We show that if the horizontal distribution is the sum of the strong stable and strong unstable distributions of a special type of a contact Anosov flow in three dimensions, then for any short enough sub-Riemannian geodesic connecting points on the same orbit of the Anosov flow, the energy of the geodesic is shared equally between its projections onto the stable and unstable bundles. The proof relies on a connection between the geodesic equations and the harmonic oscillator equation, and its explicit solution by the Jacobi elliptic functions. Using a different idea, we prove an analogous result in higher dimensions for the geodesic flow of a closed Riemannian manifold of constant negative curvature.

Full text
Abstract:
In problems of parameter estimation from sensor data, the Fisher information provides a measure of the performance of the sensor; effectively, in an infinitesimal sense, how much information about the parameters can be obtained from the measurements. From the geometric viewpoint, it is a Riemannian metric on the manifold of parameters of the observed system. In this paper, we consider the case of parameterized sensors and answer the question, “How best to reconfigure a sensor (vary the parameters of the sensor) to optimize the information collected?” A change in the sensor parameters results in a corresponding change to the metric. We show that the change in information due to reconfiguration exactly corresponds to the natural metric on the infinite-dimensional space of Riemannian metrics on the parameter manifold, restricted to finite-dimensional sub-manifold determined by the sensor parameters. The distance measure on this configuration manifold is shown to provide optimal, dynamic sensor reconfiguration based on an information criterion. Geodesics on the configuration manifold are shown to optimize the information gain but only if the change is made at a certain rate. An example of configuring two bearings-only sensors to optimally locate a target is developed in detail to illustrate the mathematical machinery, with Fast Marching methods employed to efficiently calculate the geodesics and illustrate the practicality of using this approach.

Abstract:
Many challenges in quantum information and quantum control root in constrained optimization problems on finite-dimensional quantum systems. The constraints often arise from two facts: (i) quantum dynamic state spaces are naturally smooth manifolds (orbits of the respective initial states) rather than being Hilbert spaces; (ii) the dynamics of the respective quantum system may be restricted to a proper subset of the entire state space. Mathematically, either case can be treated by constrained optimization over the reachable set of an underlying control system. Thus, whenever the reachable set takes the form a smooth manifold, Riemannian optimization methods apply. Here, we give a comprehensive account on the foundations of gradient flows on Riemannian manifolds including new applications in quantum information and quantum dynamics. Yet, we do not pursue the problem of designing explicit controls for the underlying control systems. The framework is sufficiently general for setting up gradient flows on (sub)manifolds, Lie (sub)groups, and (reductive) homogeneous spaces. Relevant convergence conditions are discussed, in particular for gradient flows on compact and analytic manifolds. This is meant to serve as foundation for new achievements and further research. Illustrative examples and new applications are given: we extend former results on unitary groups to closed subgroups with tensor-product structure, where the finest product partitioning relates to SU loc (2n) := SU(2) ⊗ ⋯ ⊗ SU(2) — known as (qubit-wise) local unitary operations. Such applications include, e.g., optimizing figures of merit on SU loc (2n) relating to distance measures of pure-state entanglement as well as to best rank-1 approximations of higher-order tensors. In quantum information, our gradient flows provide a numerically favorable alternative to standard tensor-SVD techniques.

The group of rigid motions of the Minkowski plane with a general left-invariant metric is denoted by E 1 , 1 , g λ 1 , λ 2 , where λ 1 ≥ λ 2 > 0 . It provides a natural 2 -parametric deformation family of the Riemannian homogeneous manifold Sol 3 = E 1 , 1 , g 1 , 1 which is the model space to solve geometry in the eight model geometries of Thurston. In this paper, we compute the sub-Riemannian limits of the Gaussian curvature for a Euclidean C 2 -smooth surface in E 1 , 1 , g L λ 1 , λ 2 away from characteristic points and signed geodesic curvature for the Euclidean C 2 -smooth curves on surfaces. Based on these results, we get a Gauss-Bonnet theorem in the group of rigid motions of the Minkowski plane with a general left-invariant metric.

Abstract:
Abstract We give a complete answer to which homogeneous groups admit homogeneous distances for which the Besicovitch Covering Property (BCP) holds. In particular, we prove that a stratified group admits homogeneous distances for which BCP holds if and only if the group has step 1 or 2. These results are obtained as consequences of a more general study of homogeneous quasi-distances on graded groups. Namely, we prove that a positively graded group admits continuous homogeneous quasi-distances satisfying BCP if and only if any two different layers of the associated positive grading of its Lie algebra commute. The validity of BCP has several consequences. Its connections with the theory of differentiation of measures is one of the main motivations of the present paper. As a consequence of our results, we get for instance that a stratified group can be equipped with some homogeneous distance so that the differentiation theorem holds for each locally finite Borel measure if and only if the group has step 1 or 2. The techniques developed in this paper allow also us to prove that sub-Riemannian distances on stratified groups of step 2 or higher never satisfy BCP. Using blow-up techniques this is shown to imply that on a sub-Riemannian manifold the differentiation theorem does not hold for some locally finite Borel measure.

Abstract:
<p>We consider an invariant quantum Hamiltonian <em>H</em> = −Δ<em><sub>LB</sub></em> + <em>V</em> in the <em>L</em><sup>2</sup> space based on a Riemannian manifold <em>˜M</em> with a discrete symmetry group Γ. To any unitary representation Λ of Γ one can relate another operator on <em>M</em> = <em>˜M</em> /Γ, called <em>H</em><sub>Λ</sub>, which formally corresponds to the same differential operator as <em>H</em> but which is determined by quasi-periodic boundary conditions. As originally observed by Schulman in theoretical physics and Sunada in mathematics, one can construct the propagator associated with <em>H</em><sub>Λ</sub> provided one knows the propagator associated with <em>H</em>. This approach is reviewed and demonstrated on a quantum model describing a charged particle on the plane with two Aharonov-Bohm vortices. The construction of the propagator is explained in full detail including all substantial intermediate steps.</p>

Abstract:
We consider solutions of Lagrangian variational problems with linear constraints on the derivative. More precisely, given a smooth distribution D ⊂ TM on M and a time-dependent Lagrangian L defined on D, we consider an action functional L defined on the set ΩPQ(M, D) of horizontal curves in M connecting two fixed submanifolds P, Q ⊂ M. Under suitable assumptions, the set ΩPQ(M, D) has the structure of a smooth Banach manifold and we can thus study the critical points of L. If the Lagrangian L satisfies an appropriate hyper-regularity condition, we associate to it a degenerate Hamiltonian H on TM* using a general notion of Legendre transform for maps on vector bundles. We prove that the solutions of the Hamilton equations of H are precisely the critical points of L. In the particular case where L is given by the quadratic form corresponding to a positive-definite metric on D, we obtain the well-known characterization of the normal geodesics in sub-Riemannian geometry (see [8]). By adding a potential energy term to L, we obtain again the equations of motion for the Vakonomic mechanics with non-holonomic constraints (see [6]).

Abstract:
In this paper we present a new global image orientation approach for a set of multiple overlapping images with given homologous point tuples which is based on a two-step procedure. The approach is independent on initial values, robust with respect to outliers and yields the global minimum solution under relatively mild constraints. The first step of the approach consists of the estimation of global rotation parameters by averaging relative rotation estimates for image pairs (these are determined from the homologous points via the essential matrix in a pre-processing step). For the averaging we make use of algebraic group theory in which rotations, as part of the special orthogonal group <i>SO(3)</i>, form a Lie group with a Riemannian manifold structure. This allows for a mapping to the local Euclidean tangent space of <i>SO(3)</i>, the Lie algebra. In this space the redundancy of relative orientations is used to compute an average of the absolute rotation for each image and furthermore to detect and eliminate outliers. In the second step translation parameters and the object coordinates of the homologous points are estimated within a convex <i>L</i><sub>&infin;</sub> optimisation, in which the rotation parameters are kept fixed. As an optional third step the results can be used as initial values for a final bundle adjustment that does not suffer from bad initialisation and quickly converges to a globally optimal solution. We investigate our approach for global image orientation based on synthetic data. The results are compared to a robust least squares bundle adjustment. In this way we show that our approach is independent of initial values and more robust against outliers than a conventional bundle adjustment.

Abstract:
In this paper, we will discuss a formal link between neural networks and quantum computing. For that purpose we will present a simple model for the description of the neural network by forming sub-graphs of the whole network with the same or a similar state. We will describe the interaction between these areas by closed loops, the feedback loops. The change of the graph is given by the deformations of the loops. This fact can be mathematically formalized by the fundamental group of the graph. Furthermore the neuron has two basic states |0〉 (ground state) and |1〉 (excited state). The whole state of an area of neurons is the linear combination of the two basic state with complex coefficients representing the signals (with 3 Parameters: amplitude, frequency and phase) along the neurons. If something changed in this area, we need a transformation which will preserve this general form of a state (mathematically, this transformation must be an element of the group S L(2; C)). The same argumentation must be true for the feedback loops, i.e. a general transformation of states along the feedback loops is an assignment of this loop to an element of the transformation group. Then it can be shown that the set of all signals forms a manifold (character variety) and all properties of the network must be encoded in this manifold. In the paper, we will discuss how to interpret learning and intuition in this model. Using the Morgan-Shalen compactification, the limit for signals with large amplitude can be analyzed by using quasi-Fuchsian groups as represented by dessins d’enfants (graphs to analyze Riemannian surfaces). As shown by Planat and collaborators, these dessins d’enfants are a direct bridge to (topological) quantum computing with permutation groups. The normalization of the signal reduces to the group S U(2) and the whole model to a quantum network. Then we have a direct connection to quantum circuits. This network can be transformed into operations on tensor networks. Formally we will obtain a link between machine learning and Quantum computing.

Abstract:
Integral formulas are powerful tools used to obtain global results in geometry and analysis. The integral formulas for almost multi-product manifolds, foliations and multiply twisted products of Riemannian, metric-affine and sub-Riemannian manifolds, to which this review paper is devoted, are useful for studying such problems as (i) the existence and characterization of foliations with a given geometric property, such as being totally geodesic, minimal or totally umbilical; (ii) prescribing the generalized mean curvatures of the leaves of a foliation; (iii) minimizing volume-like functionals defined for tensors on foliated manifolds. We start from the series of integral formulas for codimension one foliations of Riemannian and metric-affine manifolds, and then we consider integral formulas for regular and singular foliations of arbitrary codimension. In the second part of the article, we represent integral formulas with the mixed scalar curvature of an almost multi-product structure on Riemannian and metric-affine manifolds, give applications to hypersurfaces of space forms with k=2,3 distinct principal curvatures of constant multiplicities and then discuss integral formulas for foliations or distributions on sub-Riemannian manifolds.

For level sets of -mappings of Carnot manifolds to Carnot–Caratheodory spaces, we introduce an adequate local metric characteristic.

Abstract:
For a fat sub-Riemannian structure, we introduce three canonical Ricci curvatures in the sense of Agrachev–Zelenko–Li. Under appropriate bounds we prove comparison theorems for conjugate lengths, Bonnet–Myers type results and Laplacian comparison theorems for the intrinsic sub-Laplacian. As an application, we consider the sub-Riemannian structure of 3-Sasakian manifolds, for which we provide explicit curvature formulas. We prove that any complete 3-Sasakian structure of dimension $4d+3$, with $d>1$, has sub-Riemannian diameter bounded by $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}$. When $d=1$, a similar statement holds under additional Ricci bounds. These results are sharp for the natural sub-Riemannian structure on $\mathbb{S}^{4d+3}$ of the quaternionic Hopf fibrations: $$\begin{eqnarray}\mathbb{S}^{3}{\hookrightarrow}\mathbb{S}^{4d+3}\rightarrow \mathbb{HP}^{d},\end{eqnarray}$$ whose exact sub-Riemannian diameter is $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}$, for all $d\geqslant 1$.

Abstract In this article, we establish a Gaffney type inequality, in W ℓ , p {W}^{\ell ,p} -Sobolev spaces, for differential forms on sub-Riemannian contact manifolds without boundary, having bounded geometry (hence, in particular, we have in mind noncompact manifolds). Here, p ∈ ] 1 , ∞ [ p\in ]1,\infty {[} and ℓ = 1 , 2 \ell =1,2 depending on the order of the differential form we are considering. The proof relies on the structure of the Rumin’s complex of differential forms in contact manifolds, on a Sobolev-Gaffney inequality proved by Baldi-Franchi in the setting of the Heisenberg groups and on some geometric properties that can be proved for sub-Riemannian contact manifolds with bounded geometry.
