A Comprehensive Introduction to Sub-Riemannian Geometry

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'It is wonderful to have a wide swath of the work of this school explained clearly and set down in one place. I am understanding some of the concepts described for the first time. I am grateful to the three authors for their efforts in putting this book together.' Richard Montgomery, Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society 'This textbook is a valuable reference in sub-Riemannian geometry, providing a systematic and firm foundation to the theory ... It is my opinion that this textbook will serve as a solid reference for many researchers in the field, and will contribute to the development of the subject in the forthcoming years.' Luca Rizzi, Mathematical Reviews 'The book can be used for either an introductory or advanced course on sub-Riemannian geometry (the authors suggest which chapters to use for each case), but it also constitutes a state-of-the-art reference for most of the topics that it treats and will be an essential work for researchers active in sub-Riemannian geometry.' Robert Neel, MAA Reviews '... an excellent resource for a broad range of topics in Riemannian and sub-Riemannian geometry. I am strongly convinced that this will become one of the main references for people interested in these topics, ranging from students to specialists.' Alpar R. Meszaros, zbMATH
