Feature request: Cotangent space #263
Comments
Hi @GiulioRomualdi, |
Agree. I never digged into the cotangent space, and I am just reading about it rapidly. I have a few questions:
Given a group, is the cotangent space unique? As it is the tangent space? Or are there many possible cotangent spaces?
If it is unique, I guess we could add all its functionality, as we did with the Tangent. What would this functionality consist of? Any idea of what functions / operators / objects are needed?
And a side question: what do you use the cotangent space for?

There is no plan to add this at the moment but if you'd like to discuss one we can do so. I guess the first step would be to put together some math doc to clarify the topic and set some solid foundations.

The cotangent space seems essential for control applications, as directional derivatives (cotangent covectors) applied to the potential energy effect d'Alembert's Principle. Please see the right-most terms in Equations 16b and 16c of this paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1609.02898. |
Hi @artivis, we are currently your library in our lab. We see that for each Liegroup,
manif
exposes the associated tangent space but not the cotangent one.I was wondering if there is a reason why it is not implemented and if there is any possible plan to add it.
