A deeper understanding of nonequilibrium phenomena is needed to reveal the principles governing natural and synthetic molecular machines. Recent work has shown that when a thermodynamic system is driven from equilibrium then, in the linear…

We establish elliptic regularity for nonlinear inhomogeneous Cauchy-Riemann equations under minimal assumptions, and give a counterexample in a borderline case. In some cases where the inhomogeneous term has a separable factorization, the…

Conformal geodesics are distinguished curves on a conformal manifold, loosely analogous to geodesics of Riemannian geometry. One definition of them is as solutions to a third order differential equation determined by the conformal…

In this paper, we study the underlying geometry in the classical Hamilton-Jacobi equation. The proposed formalism is also valid for nonholonomic systems. We first introduce the essential geometric ingredients: a vector bundle, a linear…

Cartan's moving frames method is a standard tool in riemannian geometry. We set up the machinery for applying moving frames to cotangent bundles and its sub-bundles defined by non-holonomic constraints.

The paper is a study of geodesic in two-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian metrics. Firstly, the local properties of geodesics in a neighborhood of generic parabolic points are investigated. The equation of the geodesic flow has singularities at…

Non-holonomic constraints, both in the Lagragian and Hamiltonian formalism, are discussed from the geometrical viewpoint of implicit differential equations. A precise statement of both problems is presented remarking the similarities and…

We consider examples of the $\mathbb H$-type groups with the natural horizontal distribution generated by the commutation relations of the group. In the contrast with the previous studies we furnish the horizontal distribution with the…

We discuss some basic concepts of semi-Riemannian geometry in low-regularity situations. In particular, we compare the settings of (linear) distributional geometry in the sense of L. Schwartz and nonlinear distributional geometry in the…

The method of Hamilton-Jacobi is used to obtain geodesics around non- Riemannian planar torsional defects.It is shown that by perturbation expansion in the Cartan torsion the geodesics obtained are parabolic curves along the plane x-z when…

In this paper, we define and study strong right-invariant sub-Riemannian structures on the group of diffeomorphisms of a manifold with bounded geometry. We derive the Hamiltonian geodesic equations for such structures, and we provide…

On Sasakian manifolds with their naturally occurring sub-Riemannian structure, we consider parallel and mirror maps along geodesics of a taming Riemannian metric. We show that these transport maps have well-defined limits outside the…

We investigate the topologies of random geometric complexes built over random points sampled on Riemannian manifolds in the so-called "thermodynamic" regime. We prove the existence of universal limit laws for the topologies; namely, the…

We study the geometry of the second-order expansion of the extended end-point map for the sub-Riemannian geodesic problem. Translating the geometric reality into equations we derive new second-order necessary optimality conditions in…

In order to describe the impact of nonholonomic constraints for the dynamics of a regular controlled Hamiltonian (RCH) system, in this paper, for an RCH system with nonholonomic constraint, we first derive its distributional RCH system, by…

We study the regularity and branching of strictly abnormal minimizing geodesics in sub-Riemannian geometry. We construct examples of real-analytic sub-Riemannian manifolds admitting minimizing geodesics that lose regularity at an interior…

The aim of this paper is to show that the Lagrange-d'Alembert and its equivalent the Gauss and Appel principle are not the only way to deduce the equations of motion of the nonholonomic systems. Instead of them, here we consider the…

We show that a wide range of overdetermined boundary problems for semilinear equations with position-dependent nonlinearities admits nontrivial solutions. The result holds true both on the Euclidean space and on compact Riemannian…

In this paper we discuss how to associate a suitable non-transitive version of a Cartan connection to sub-Riemannian manifolds of corank 1 (including contact and quasi-contact sub-Riemannian manifolds) with non-necessarily constant…

A new approach to the solution of quasilinear nonelliptic first-order systems of inhomogeneous PDEs in many dimensions is presented. It is based on a version of the conditional symmetry and Riemann invariant methods. We discuss in detail…
