A spherical distribution is an eigendistribution of the Laplace-Beltrami operator with certain invariance on the de Sitter space. Let G'=O(1,n;R) be the Lorentz group and H' = O(1,n-1;R) be its subgroup. The authors Olafsson and Sitiraju…

The Grushin plane serves as one of the simplest examples of a sub-Riemannian manifold whose distribution is of non-constant rank. Despite the fact that the singular set where this distribution drops rank is itself a smoothly embedded…
