Normal Curves in Sub-Finsler Lie Groups: Branching for Strongly Convex Norms and Face Stability for Polyhedral Norms
Enrico Le Donne, Sebastiano Nicolussi Golo, Nicola Paddeu
We consider Lie groups equipped with left-invariant subbundles of their tangent bundles and norms on them. On these sub-Finsler structures, we study the normal curves in the sense…

Strictly abnormal geodesics with a degeneracy point in the interior of their domain
Nicola Paddeu, Alessandro Socionovo
In this article, we study abnormal curves in a family of sub-Riemannian manifolds of rank 2. We focus on abnormal curves whose lifts to the cotangent bundle annihilate, at an inter…

Hypergenerated Carnot groups
Enrico Le Donne, Luca Nalon, Nicola Paddeu +1
In this paper we provide an algebraic characterization of those stratified groups in which boundaries with locally constant normal are locally flat. We show that these groups, whic…
