DESCRIPTION:Antonio Lerario (Lyon)\nGeometry and Dynamics SeminarAbstract:
  Given two points on a sub-Riemannian manifold the nonholonomic path-space
  consists of all Lipschitz continuous horizontal curves joining them. The 
 sub-Riemannian structure allows to define the energy of these curves (a fu
 nction on the nonholomonic path space) and geodesics are critical points o
 f this function. I will discuss some quantitative aspects of this picture 
 both on the infinitesimal scale (on Carnot groups)\, on the local scale (u
 sing a blow-up procedure) and the global scale (generalizing a theorem of 
 Serre).
