Sommario:
  • We study the geometry of $\mathbb{R}^3$ equipped with a rotationally invariant Carnot-Carthéodory metric obtained by weighting motion in the $z$-direction by a function $f(r)$ of the cylindrical radius. When $f$ vanishes only at $r=0$, the space exhibits a Grushin--type singularity along the vertical axis. We provide sufficient conditions on $f$ ensuring a Grushin--like structure and describe the full optimal synthesis at singular points. For Riemannian points, we propose a candidate cut time determined by a discrete symmetry of the Hamiltonian flow. In the integrable case $f(r)=r$, we prove that this candidate coincides with the true cut time and give an explicit description of the cut locus.
