Abstract: |
The author proves the Poincar\'e lemma on some $(n+1)$-dimensional
corank 1 sub-Riemannian structures, formulating the
$\frac{(n-1)n(n^2+3n-2)}{8}$ necessarily and sufficiently
``curl-vanishing'' compatibility conditions. In particular, this
result solves partially an open problem formulated by Calin and
Chang. The proof in this paper is based on a Poincar\'e lemma stated
on Riemannian manifolds and a suitable Ces\`aro-Volterra path
integral formula established in local coordinates. As a byproduct, a
Saint-Venant lemma is also provided on generic Riemannian manifolds.
Some examples are presented on the hyperbolic space and
Carnot/Heisenberg groups. |
