| Research Abstract |
From the viewpoint of nilpotent geometry and analysis, we have been developing general theories on geometric, structures and differential equations on filtered manifolds. More recently, as applications of these theories, we have been carrying detailed studies on various concrete geometric structures. In particular, applying the general theory of Morimoto to subriemannian geometry, we have obtained the following remarkable theorem : There exists a canonical Cartan connection associated with a subriemannian manifold satisfying Hormander condition and having constant first order approximation.
We have also determined, up to quotient by discrete groups, the homogeneous subriemannian contact manifolds whose automorphism groups are of maximal dimension. The automorphism groups are also classified into three isomorphic classes.
