INVITED TALK:

Roberta Ghezzi (Institut de Mathématiques de Bourgogne, France): Jacobi fields in sub-Riemannian geometry.

In Riemannian geometry, Jacobi fields along geodesics are defined as solutions of Jacobi equation, which involves the curvature tensor. Using a Lagrangian point of view, a classical result states that Jacobi fields are projections of solutions of the complete lift (to the double tangent) of the optimal control problem associated with the length-minimization problem on the base manifold. In a sub-Riemannian manifold M the metric tensor is only defined on a (nonholonomic) sub-bundle of TM and there is no analogous to the Levi-Civita connection. As a consequence, there is not a direct correspondent of Jacobi equation. Nevertheless, by a Hamiltonian approach which amounts to study the Legendre transformed optimal control problem on T^*M, Agrachev-Barilari-Rizzi provide in [Memoires AMS 2018] a notion of "Jacobi curve" on sub-Riemannian geodesics. Starting by the aforementioned interpretation of Jacobi fields in Riemannian geometry, we provide a new interpretation of Jacobi curves in sub-Riemannian geometry leading to the analysis of a Hamilton equation on T^*TM, from which a notion of sub-Riemannian curvature can be extracted. 

This is a joint work with D. Iglesias Ponte, J.C. Marrero, E. Padron

Introduction: 

Welcome to XIII International ICMAT Summer School on Geometry, Mechanics and Control organised by the Geometry,  Mechanics and Control (GMC) Network.

The thirteenth edition of the International Summer School on Geometry, Mechanics and Control will be held at ICMAT in Madrid, Spain, in July 8-10, 2019. This year's edition is shorter than usual, but you can extend your stay in Madrid by attending the Conference on Challenges in Mathematical Architecture at Escuelta Técnica Superior de Arquitectura at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, July 10-12, 2019, if you are interested on the scope of the conference.

The school is oriented to young researchers, Ph.D. and postdoctoral students in Mathematics, Physics and Engineering, in particular those interested in focusing their research on geometric control and its applications to mechanical and electrical systems, and optimal control. It is intended to present an up-to-date view of some fundamental issues in these topics and bring to the participants attention some open problems, in particular problems related to applications.

Undegraduate students and master students are also welcome!!!

 This year the courses will be delivered by:

            Geometry and dynamics of contact manifolds.

            An invitation to b-symplectic geometry: from quantization to periodic orbits.

  1. b-Poisson manifolds = b-symplectic manifolds.
  2. Geometric quantization. Obstruction theory.
  3. An invitation to singular symplectic topology: periodic orbits & co.
  • Manuel Mazo, Delft University of Technology (The Netherlands).

Abstractions to exploit the savings of aperiodic control schemes.

  1. Event-triggered control and the scheduling problem.
  2. Symbolic abstractions, simulation relations and timed-automata.
  3. Scheduling ETC via traffic abstractions.
