Abelian instances of nonabelian symplectic reduction
A. Bravo-Doddoli, L. C. GarcÃa-Naranjo, E. Rigato
Let be a Lie group with a normal abelian subgroup , and let be a symplectic manifold endowed with a Hamiltonian -action. We investigat…
Metric Lines in the Space of Curves
Daniella Catalá, Miriam Vollmayr-Lee, Alejandro Bravo-Doddoli
This paper investigates sub-Riemannian geodesics within the jet space of curves. We establish the existence of two distinct families of metric lines, that is, globally minimizing g…
Integrable sub-Riemannian geodesic flows on the special orthogonal group
Alejandro Bravo-Doddoli, Philip Arathoon, Anthony M. Bloch
We analyse the geometry of the rubber-rolling distribution on the special orthogonal group and show that almost all the normal geodesics of any right-invariant sub-Riemannian metri…
Metric Lines in Engel-type Groups
Alejandro Bravo-Doddoli
In the framework of sub-Riemannian Manifolds, a relevant question is: what are the \enquote{metric lines} (i.e., the isometric embedding of the real line)? This article presents a…
Metric Lines in the Special Euclidean group on the plane
Y. Wang, S. Ku, A. Bravo-Doddoli
The Special Euclidean group on the plane has the left-invariant sub-Riemannian structure. Every sub-Riemannian manifold possesses a Hamiltonian function governing the sub-R…
