Duality of (2,3,5)-distributions and Lagrangian cone structures

As was shown by a part of the authors, for a given $(2, 3, 5)$-distribution $D$ on a $5$-dimensional manifold $Y$, there is, locally, a Lagrangian cone structure $C$ on another $5$-dimensional manifold $X$ which consists of abnormal or singular paths of $(Y, D)$. We give a characterization of the class of Lagrangian cone structures corresponding to $(2, 3, 5)$-distributions. Thus we complete the duality between $(2, 3, 5)$-distributions and Lagrangian cone structures via pseudo-product structures of type $G_2$. A local example of non-flat perturbations of the global model of flat Lagrangian cone structure which corresponds to $(2,3,5)$-distributions is given.

Dependence of vector fields and singular controls

We show an example providing a significance in geometric control theory of the existence of the dependence locus of a system of vector fields in particular, the generic appearance of non-trivial singular trajectories embedded in the dependence locus.

Duality of singular paths for (2,3,5)-distributions

We show a duality which arises from distributions of Cartan type, having growth (2, 3, 5), from the view point of geometric control theory. In fact we consider the space of singular (or abnormal) paths on a given five dimensional space endowed with a Cartan distribution, which form another five dimensional space with a cone structure. We regard the cone structure as a control system and show that the space of singular paths of the cone structure is naturally identified with the original space. Moreover we observe an asymmetry on this duality in terms of singular paths.
