What are the best trajectories to park a truck with several trailers? How fast can a lattice grow? These questions are some of the ones studied in this project because both the infinitesimal structure of controlling a truck and the asymptotic geometry of a (nilpotent) lattice are examples of metric groups: Lie groups with homogeneous distances. The PI plans to study geometric properties of metric groups and implications to control systems and nilpotent groups. In particular, the plan is to exploit the relation between the regularity of distinguished curves, sets and maps in subRiemannian groups, volume asymptotics in nilpotent groups and embedding results. SubRiemannian spaces and in…
