Venue: Tuesday, December 3 (tomorrow!), room A-136, 4pm
Title: Sub-Riemannian manifolds, affine connections and curvature

Abstract
We introduce a new approach to the curvature of sub-Riemannian manifolds as
previously introduced by Zelenko, Li, Agrachev, Barilari and Rizzi. The
approach uses affine connections and their adjoints. We are able to give an
algorithm for computing the curvature of any sub-Riemannian manifold. We
use it to give a universal Bonnet-Myers theorem of Riemannian type.
