Under this identification the unit\nsphere can be considered as a non-commutative Lie group. The\ncommut ation relations for the vector fields of the corresponding\nLie algebra de fine a 2-step sub-Riemannian manifold. We study\nsub-Riemannian geodesics on this sub-Riemannian manifold making use\nof the Hamiltonian formalism. We also discuss some properties of\nthe heat kernel for the sub-Laplacian. \n DTSTART:20101105T173000Z DTEND:20101105T183000Z LOCATION:Burnside Hall\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B9\, 805 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Geometric analysis on the 3-D sphere URL:/channels/event/geometric-analysis-3-d-sphere-1684 29 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
