A Primer on Carnot Groups: Homogenous Groups, Carnot-Carathéodory Spaces, and Regularity of Their Isometries

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces, 2018
Carnot groups are distinguished spaces that are rich of structure: they are those Lie groups equipped with a path distance that is invariant by left-translations of the group and admit automorphisms that are dilations with respect to the distance.

Topology and Integrability in Lagrangian Mechanics

, 2017
This chapter reviews complete integrability in the setting of Lagrangian/Hamiltonian mechanics. It includes the construction of angle-action variables in illustrative examples, along with a proof of the Liouville-Arnol’d theorem.

Dimension Distortion by Sobolev Mappings in Foliated Metric Spaces

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces, 2013
We quantify the extent to which a supercritical Sobolev mapping can increase the dimension of subsets of its domain, in the setting of metric measure spaces supporting a Poincaré inequality. We show that the set of mappings that distort the dimensions of

A survey on Inverse mean curvature flow in ROSSes

Complex Manifolds, 2017
In this survey we discuss the evolution by inverse mean curvature flow of star-shaped mean convex hypersurfaces in non-compact rank one symmetric spaces.

Existence of isoperimetric regions in sub-Finsler nilpotent groups

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces
We consider a nilpotent Lie group with a bracket-generating distribution ℋ{\mathcal{ {\mathcal H} }} and an asymmetric left-invariant norm ∣⋅∣K{| \cdot | }_{K} induced by a convex body K⊆RkK\subseteq {{\mathbb{R}}}^{k} containing 0 in its interior.

Uniform Gaussian Bounds for Subelliptic Heat Kernels and an Application to the Total Variation Flow of Graphs over Carnot Groups

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces, 2013
In this paper we study heat kernels associated with a Carnot group G, endowed with a family of collapsing left-invariant Riemannian metrics σε which converge in the Gromov- Hausdorff sense to a sub-Riemannian structure on G as ε→ 0.

On Conditions for Unrectifiability of a Metric Space

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces, 2014
We find necessary and sufficient conditions for a Lipschitz map f : E ⊂ ℝk → X into a metric space to satisfy ℋk(f(E)) = 0. An interesting feature of our approach is that despite the fact that we are dealing with arbitrary metric spaces, we employ a ...

Metric lines in the jet space

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces
In the realm of sub-Riemannian manifolds, a relevant question is: what are the metric lines (isometric embedding of the real line)? The space of kk-jets of a real function of one real variable xx, denoted by Jk(R,R){J}^{k}\left({\mathbb{R}},{\mathbb{R}}),

BiLipschitz Decomposition of Lipschitz Maps between Carnot Groups

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces, 2015
Let f : G → H be a Lipschitz map between two Carnot groups. We show that if B is a ball of G, then there exists a subset Z ⊂ B, whose image in H under f has small Hausdorff content, such that B\Z can be decomposed into a controlled number of pieces, the ...

Curvature exponent and geodesic dimension on Sard-regular Carnot groups

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces
In this study, we characterize the geodesic dimension NGEO{N}_{{\rm{GEO}}} and give a new lower bound to the curvature exponent NCE{N}_{{\rm{CE}}} on Sard-regular Carnot groups.
