Sub-Riemannian geometry deals with differentiable manifolds \(M\) equipped with a subbundle \(D\) of the tangent bundle \(TM\). \(D\) has a to satisfy a certain nonintegrability condition and only \(D\) (not all of \(TM\)) is supposed to carry a Riemannian metric. Such structures naturally appear, e.g., in the theory of hypoelliptic operators. It may now be asked to which extent Riemannian geometry carries over to sub-Riemannian manifolds. The present paper surveys the current state of the art. The topics discussed include basic definitions, basic examples, metric structure, geodesics, Hausdorff dimension, isoperimetric and Sobolev inequality, comparison results, Hodge-deRham theory, and hypoelliptic operators. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0866.00026].
