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.

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}}),

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 ...

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 ...

Analytic torsion of nilmanifolds with (2, 3, 5) distributions

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces
We consider generic rank two distributions on five-dimensional nilmanifolds and show that the analytic torsion of their Rumin complex coincides with the Ray-Singer torsion.

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.

A note on the diameter of small sub-Riemannian balls

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces
We observe that the diameter of small (in a locally uniform sense) balls in C 1,1 sub-Riemannian manifolds equals twice the radius. We also prove that, when the regularity of the structure is further lowered to C 0, the diameter is arbitrarily close to ...

On an evolution equation in sub-Finsler geometry

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces
We study the gradient flow of an energy with mixed homogeneity, which is at the interface of Finsler and sub-Riemannian geometry.

On the role of embeddability in conformal pseudo-hermitian geometry

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces
In this article, we review some recent results about the role of embeddability in conformal CR (Cauchy-Riemann) geometry. We will show how this condition enters in the second variation of the pseudo-hermitian counterpart of the Einstein-Hilbert action ...
