We investigate local and metric geometry of weighted Carnot-Carath\'eodory spaces which are a wide generalization of sub-Riemannian manifolds and arise in nonlinear control theory, subelliptic equations etc. For such spaces the intrinsic…

For a smooth manifold $M$ we define the Teichm\"uller space $\cT(M)$ of all Riemannian metrics on $M$ and the Teichm\"uller space $\cT^\epsilon(M)$ of $\epsilon$-pinched negatively curved metrics on $M$, where $0\leq\epsilon\leq\infty$. We…
