Abstract:

We prove a weak version of the Chow-Rachevsky theorem for vector fields having only Sobolev regularity and generating suitable flows as selections of solutions to the respective ODEs, for a.e.\ initial datum.

Keywords: Sobolev spaces, Regular Lagrangian flows, global controllability, Geometric control, Chow-Rachevsky theorem,, H\"{o}rmander condition,
