We introduce Gaussian-type measures on the manifold of all metrics with a fixed volume form on a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension $\geq 3$. For this random model we compute the characteristic function for the $L^2$ (Ebin) distance…

Let $M$ be a complete Sasakian sub-Riemannian $3$-manifold of constant Webster scalar curvature $\kappa$. For any point $p\in M$ and any number $\lambda\in\mathbb{R}$ with $\lambda^2+\kappa>0$, we show existence of a $C^2$ spherical surface…

Generalized tensor analysis in the sense of Colombeau's construction is employed to introduce a nonlinear distributional pseudo-Riemannian geometry. In particular, after deriving several characterizations of invertibility in the algebra of…

In this paper, we propose a generalization of the Riemann curvature tensor on manifolds (of dimension two or higher) endowed with a Regge metric. Specifically, while all components of the metric tensor are assumed to be smooth within…

We establish a global rigidity theorem for Riemannian metrics without conjugate points on three-manifolds of the form $M = \Sigma \times S^1$, where $\Sigma$ is a compact orientable surface of genus at least 2. The main result states that…

In this paper, we study a non-collapsed Gromov--Hausdorff limit of a sequence of compact Heisenberg manifolds with sub-Riemannian metrics. In the case of strictly sub-Riemannian case, we show that if a sequence has an upper bound of the…

We are going to widen the scope of the previously defined Hausdorff-integral in two ways. First, in the sense, that we develop the theory of the integral on some naturally generalized measure spaces. Second, we extend it to functions taking…

S. Smirnov proved recently that the Hausdorff dimension of any K-quasicircle is at most 1+k^2, where k=(K-1)/(K+1). In this paper we show that if $\Gamma$ is such a quasicircle, then $H^{1+k^2}(B(x,r)\cap \Gamma)\leq C(k) r^{1+k^2}$ for all…

We study minimal surfaces in generic sub-Riemannian manifolds with sub-Riemannian structures of co-rank one. These surfaces can be defined as the critical points of the so-called {\it horizontal} area functional associated to the canonical…

We study the class of transversal submanifolds. We characterize their blow-ups at transversal points and prove a negligibility theorem for their "generalized characteristic set", with respect to the Carnot-Carath\'eodory Hausdorff measure.…

$H$-type foliations $(\mathbb{M},\mathcal{H},g_{\mathcal{H}})$ are studied in the framework of sub-Riemannian geometry with bracket generating distribution defined as the bundle transversal to the fibers. Equipping $\mathbb{M}$ with the…

In this paper we study global distance estimates and uniform local volume estimates in a large class of sub-Riemannian manifolds. Our main device is the generalized curvature dimension inequality introduced by the first and the third author…

We study metric properties of manifolds with conic singularities and present a natural interplay between metrically conic and metrically asymptotically conic behaviour. As a consequence, we prove that a singular sub-manifold is Lipschitz…

We consider invariant Einstein metrics on the quaternionic Stiefel manifolds $V_p\mathbb{H} ^n$ of all orthonormal $p$-frames in $\mathbb{H}^n$. This manifold is diffeomorphic to the homogeneous space $\mathrm{Sp}(n) / \mathrm{Sp}(n-p)$ and…

This paper extends parts of the results from [P.W.Michor and D. Mumford, \emph{Appl. Comput. Harmon. Anal.,} 23 (2007), pp. 74--113] for plane curves to the case of hypersurfaces in $\mathbb R^n$. Let $M$ be a compact connected oriented…

In this paper, we study the geometry of non-Archimedean Gromov-Hausdorff metric. This is the first part of our series work, which we try to establish some facts about the counterpart of Gromov-Hausdorff metric in the non-Archimedean spaces.…

We obtain some results on symmetries of sub-Riemannian surfaces. In case of contact sub-Riemannian surface we base on invariants found by Hughen \cite{Hughen}. Using these invariants, we find conditions under which a sub-Riemannian surface…

In this paper, we investigate properties of orbits of Hermann actions as submanifolds without assuming the commutability of involutions which define Hermann actions. In particular, we compute the second fundamental form of orbits of Hermann…

This article is about two types of restrictions of eigenfunctions $\phi_j$ on a compact Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$: First, we restrict to a submanifold $H \subset M$, and expand the restriction $\gamma_H \phi_j$ in eigenfunctions $e_k$ of…

This article investigates the genericity of ergodic probability measures for the geodesic flow on non-positively curved Riemannian manifolds. We demonstrate that the existence of an open isometric embedding of a product manifold with a…
