Version

This CIMPA research school will be
organized at the
Doctoral
School of Sciences and Technology (Hadath site of the
Lebanese
University) under the auspices of
the
CIMPA,
the
Lebanese University
and
its Doctoral
School of Sciences and Technology, the
Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie,
the
ICTP,
the Embassy of France at Lebanon, as well as the indirect
support
of several universities and european institutions.
The main objective of this school is to present
the
sub-riemannian geometry as a crossroads of different areas of
mathematical research. There will be 8 mini-courses of 6 hours each one
given by specialists of sub-riemannian geometry. After an introductory
course on sub-riemannian geometry, the other topics that will be
addressed concern optimal transport, control theory, non-holonomic
mechanics, Cartan distributions in jets spaces, hypoelliptic operators
and algebraic geometry. Each of these courses will describe at least
one application to sub-riemannian geometry.
