Abstract

We consider coefficient bodies Mn\mathcal M_n for univalent functions. Based on the L\"owner-Kufarev parametric representation we get a partially integrable Hamiltonian system in which the first integrals are Kirillov's operators for a representation of the Virasoro algebra. Then Mn\mathcal M_n are defined as sub-Riemannian manifolds. Given a Lie-Poisson bracket they form a grading of subspaces with the first subspace as a bracket-generating distribution of complex dimension two. With this sub-Riemannian structure we construct a new Hamiltonian system and calculate regular geodesics which turn to be horizontal. Lagrangian formulation is also given in the particular case M3\mathcal M_3.
