Description:
In this course I will introduce the basic concepts in sub-Riemannian geometry and I will discuss basic properties of the Carnot-Caratheodory distance and of the geodesics. Then I will discuss how to write the heat equation and Schroedinger equations on such manifolds. For the Schroedinger equation, In the case of almost-Riemannian geometry, I will show how different quantization procedures give rise to completely different phenomena.
