To any metric spaces there is an associated metric profile. The rectifiability of the metric profile gives a good notion of curvature of a sub-Riemannian space. We shall say that a curvature class is the rectifiability class of the metric…

A class of surfaces-graphs in a Riemannian 3-space with a prescribed projection of one field of principal directions onto a surface $\Pi$ is considered. A problem of determination of such surfaces when both principal curvatures are given…

On the domain of a Riemannian submersion, we consider variations (i.e., smooth one-parameter families) of Riemannian metrics, for which the submersion is Riemannian and which all keep the metric induced on its fibers fixed. We obtain a…
