	abstract = {<p>We study properties of the space of horizontal paths joining the origin with a vertical point on a generic two-step Carnot group. The energy is a Morse-Bott functional on paths and its critical points (sub-Riemannian geodesics) appear in families (compact critical manifolds) with controlled topology. We study the asymptotic of the number of critical manifolds as the energy grows. The topology of the horizontal-path space is also investigated, and we find asymptotic results for the total Betti number of the sublevels of the energy as it goes to infinity. We interpret these results as local invariants of the sub-Riemannian structure.</p>},

quadratic inequalities in the real projective space RP^n (e.g. X is the
intersection of two real quadrics). We give explicit formulae for its Betti
numbers and for those of its double cover in the sphere S^n; we also give
similar formulae for level sets of homogeneous quadratic maps to the plane. We
discuss some applications of these results, especially in classical convexity
theory. We prove the sharp bound b(X)\leq 2n for the total Betti number of X;
we show that for odd n this bound is attained only by a singular X. In the
nondegenerate case we also prove the bound on each specific Betti number
b_k(X)\leq 2(k+2).},

	title = {Homology invariants of quadratic maps},
	year = {2011},
	school = {SISSA},
	abstract = {Given a real projective algebraic set X we could hope that the equations describing it can give some information on its topology, e.g. on the number of its connected components. Unfortunately in the general case this hope is too vague and there is no direct way to extract such information from the algebraic description of X: Even the problem to decide whether X is empty or not is far from an easy visualization and requires some complicated algebraic machinery. A fi rst step observation is that as long as we are interested only in the topology of X, we can replace, using some Veronese embedding, the original ambient space with a much bigger RPn and assume that X is cut by quadratic equations. The price for this is the increase of the number of equations de ning our set; the advantage is that quadratic polynomials are easier to handle and our hope becomes more concrete...},
