The main idea is to pose a version of the classical Kepler problem of planetary motion, but in a sub-Riemannian setting. The result is system which is surprisingly rich and beautiful, mysterious in some ways but tame in others, offering a substantial number of questions which seem non-trivial yet tractable.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-01-10T23:50:30.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "70F05", "37N05", "53C17", "65P10", "70H12" ], "keywords": [ "kepler-heisenberg problem", "introduction", "main idea", "classical kepler problem", "planetary motion" ], "tags": [ "expository article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
