Hopf-Rinow Theorem of sub-Finslerian geometry

Differential Geometry 2023-02-01 v1

Abstract

The sub-Finslerian geometry means that the metric FF is defined only on a given subbundle of the tangent bundle, called a horizontal bundle. In the paper, a version of the Hopf-Rinow theorem is proved in the case of sub-Finslerian manifolds, which relates the properties of completeness, geodesically completeness, and compactness. The sub-Finsler bundle, the exponential map and the Legendre transformation are deeply involved in this investigation.
