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.

Jean-Marie Souriau’s Symplectic Foliation Model of Sadi Carnot’s Thermodynamics [PDF]
The explanation of thermodynamics through geometric models was initiated by seminal figures such as Carnot, Gibbs, Duhem, Reeb, and Carathéodory. Only recently, however, has the symplectic foliation model, introduced within the domain of geometric ...

Rearrangements in Carnot Groups [PDF]
In this paper we extend the notion of rearrangement of nonnegative functions to the setting of Carnot groups. We define rearrangement with respect to a given family of anisotropic balls B_r or equivalently with respect to a gauge |x|, and prove basic regularity properties of this construction.

Notions of Convexity in Carnot Groups [PDF]
The aim of this interesting paper is to study appropriate notions of convexity in the setting of Carnot groups \(G\). First, the notion of strong \(H\)-convexity is examined. Some arguments showing that the concept is to restrictive are presented. Then the notion of weakly \(H\)-convex functions is defined.

Rigidity of 2-Step Carnot Groups [PDF]
Except for minor polishing this version is enriched with two appendices concerning pseudo H-type algebras with J^2-condition. In Appendix A we relate these algebras to division algebras and their split versions.

Hilbert-Haar coordinates and Miranda's theorem in Lie groups
We study the interior regularity of solutions to a class of quasilinear equations of non-degenerate p-Laplacian type on Lie groups that admit a system of Hilbert-Haar coordinates. These are coordinates with respect to which every linear function has zero

A Cornucopia of Carnot Groups in Low Dimensions
Stratified groups are those simply connected Lie groups whose Lie algebras admit a derivation for which the eigenspace with eigenvalue 1 is Lie generating.

DFT screening of adsorption of biodiesel molecules on aluminum and stainless steel surfaces
We present a Density Functional Theory (DFT) study of the adsorption of small organic molecules, taken as models of biodiesel autoxidation products, on stainless steel and aluminum surfaces.

Nature and importance of follicular lymphoma precursors
It is now widely recognized that cancer development is a protracted process requiring the stepwise acquisition of multiple oncogenic events. In humans, this process can take decades, if not a lifetime, blurring the notion of ‘healthy’ individuals ...

On Viscosity and Equivalent Notions of Solutions for Anisotropic Geometric Equations
We prove that viscosity solutions of geometric equations in step two Carnot groups can be equivalently reformulated by restricting the set of test functions at the singular points.
