Configuration Spaces of a Kinematic System and Monster Tower of Special Multi-Flags

In this note we show that the configuration spaces of the kinematic system constructed in [4] and [12] gives rise to a natural tower of sphere bundles. Moreover, we prove that, each tower of projective bundles associated to special multi- flags (cf [1], [13], [2], [3]), we can associate such a tower of sphere bundles which is a two-fold covering of the previous one. In particular we give a positive answer of some conjecture proposed in [3]

Integrability of weak distributions on Banach manifolds

This paper concerns the problem of integrability of non closed distributions on Banach manifolds. We introduce the notion of weak distribution and we look for conditions under which these distributions admit weak integral submanifolds. We give some applications to Banach Lie algebroid and Banach Lie-Poisson manifold. The main results of this paper generalize the works presented in [ChSt], [Nu] and [Gl].

Snakes and articulated arms in an Hilbert space

The purpose of this paper is to give an illustration of results on integrability of distributions and orbits of vector fields on Banach manifolds obtained in [Pe] and [LaPe]. Using arguments and results of these papers, in the context of a separable Hilbert space, we give a generalization of a Theorem of accessibility contained in [Ha], [Ro] and proved for a finite dimensional Hilbert space

On Sussmann theorem for orbits of sets of vector fields on Banach manifolds

The purpose of this paper is to give some generalizations, in the context of Banach mani- folds, of Sussmann's results about the orbits of families of vector fields ([Su]). Essentially, we define the notion of "l1-orbits" for any family of vector fields on a Banach manifold, and we prove, under appropriate assumptions, that such an orbit is a weak Banach submanifold.

Almost Lie structures on an anchored Banach bundle

Under appropriate assumptions, we generalize the concept of linear almost Poisson struc- tures, almost Lie algebroids, almost differentials in the framework of Banach anchored bundles and the relation between these objects. We then obtain an adapted formalism for mechanical systems which is illustrated by the evolutionary problem of the "Hilbert snake"

Special 2-flags in lengths not exceeding four: a study in strong nilpotency of distributions

In the recent years, a number of issues concerning distributions generating 1- flags (called also Goursat flags) has been analyzed. Presently similar questions are discussed as regards distributions generating multi-flags. (In fact, only so-called special multi-flags, to avoid functional moduli.) In particular and foremost, special 2-flags of small lengths are a natural ground for the search of generalizations of theorems established earlier for Goursat objects. In the present paper we locally classify, in both Cω and C \infty categories, special 2-flags of lengths not exceeding four. We use for that the known facts about special multi-flags along with fairly recent notions like strong nilpotency of distributions. In length four there are already 34 orbits, the number to be confronted with only 14 singularity classes - basic invariant sets discovered in 2003. As a common denominator for different parts of the paper, there could serve the fact that only rarely multi-flags' germs are strongly nilpotent, whereas all of them are weakly nilpotent, or nilpotentizable (possessing a local nilpotent basis of sections).
