Cut time in sub-riemannian problem on engel group
ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations, Tome 21 (2015) no. 4, pp. 958-988.

The left-invariant sub-Riemannian problem on the Engel group is considered. The problem gives the nilpotent approximation to generic rank two sub-Riemannian problems on four-dimensional manifolds. The global optimality of extremal trajectories is studied via geometric control theory. The global diffeomorphic structure of the exponential mapping is described. As a consequence, the cut time is proved to be equal to the first Maxwell time corresponding to discrete symmetries of the exponential mapping.
