| Summary: | The rototranslation group ℛT is the group comprising rotations and translations of the Euclidean plane which is a 3-dimensional Lie group. In this paper, we use the Riemannian approximation scheme to compute sub-Riemannian limits of the Gaussian curvature for a Euclidean C2-smooth surface in the rototranslation group away from characteristic points and signed geodesic curvature for Euclidean C2-smooth curves on surfaces. Based on these results, we obtain a Gauss–Bonnet theorem in the rototranslation group. |
