Abstract
We compute the asymptotic expansion of the volume of small sub-Riemannian balls in a contact 3-dimensional manifold, and we express the first meaningful geometric coefficients in terms of geometric invariants of the sub-Riemannian structure
期刊介绍:
Publishes high quality papers on all aspects of symplectic geometry, with its deep roots in mathematics, going back to Huygens’ study of optics and to the Hamilton Jacobi formulation of mechanics. Nearly all branches of mathematics are treated, including many parts of dynamical systems, representation theory, combinatorics, packing problems, algebraic geometry, and differential topology.
