The Horofunction boundary of the Heisenberg Group: The Carnot-Carathéodory metric

open access: yes, 2010
We find the horofunction boundary of the ( 2 n + 1 ) (2n+1) -dimensional Heisenberg group with the Carnot-Carathéodory distance and show that it is homeomorphic to a 2 n

Some Results on Maps That Factor through a Tree

open access: yesAnalysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces, 2015
We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a map deffned on a simply-connected quasi-convex metric space to factor through a tree. In case the target is the Euclidean plane and the map is Hölder continuous with exponent bigger than 1/2, such maps ...

The optimality‐based active region model for fingering flow in the vadose zone: Theory, model validation, and generalization

open access: yesVadose Zone Journal, Volume 25, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Traditional macroscopic models for water flow in the vadose zone often assume local equilibrium within a representative element volume. However, under fingering flow this assumption breaks down on a macroscale involving sub‐grid figuring because local equilibrium does not hold between the fingering and non‐fingering domains.

Arabidopsis acclimation to daily environmental fluctuations converts a defense response regulator into a susceptibility factor toward Sclerotinia

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 4, Page 2516-2534, May 2026.
Summary Acclimation enables plants to adjust to immediate environmental fluctuations and is therefore key to the resilience of plant disease resistance in a time of climate change. Here, we report on the acclimation of Arabidopsis thaliana quantitative immune responses against the fungal pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum to daily environmental ...

Power Losses in Energy Generation: Mechanisms, Mitigation Strategies, and Pathways to a Sustainable Future

open access: yesEnergy Technology, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
This article provides a comprehensive review of loss mechanisms in the generation stage of energy systems, covering fossil, nuclear, and renewable technologies. It examines their environmental and operational implications and shows how overlooking generation losses distorts efficiency assessments.

From signal processing of telecommunication signals to high pulse energy lasers: the Mamyshev regenerator case

open access: yesNanophotonics
We look back at many challenges as well as unexpected successes encountered by the Mamyshev optical regenerator, which combines spectral broadening from self-phase modulation followed by offset bandpass filtering.

Isoperimetric Inequalities in Carnot Groups

open access: yes, 2012
The isoperimetric problem is a very classical problem whose history dates back to more than two thousand years ago. Roughly speaking, the isoperimetric problem is to determine the largest possible area enclosed by a closed curve which has a specified ...

Lipschitz and bilipschitz maps on Carnot groups [PDF]

open access: yesPacific Journal of Mathematics, 2013
Suppose A is an open subset of a Carnot group G, where G has a discrete analogue, and H is another Carnot group. We show that a Lipschitz function from A to H whose image has positive Hausdorff measure in the appropriate dimension is biLipschitz on a subset of A of positive Hausdorff measure.

Differential forms in Carnot groups: a variational approach

open access: yesBruno Pini Mathematical Analysis Seminar, 2011
Carnot groups (connected simply connected nilpotent stratified Lie groups) can be endowed with a complex of ``intrinsic'' differential forms. In this paper we want to provide an evidence of the intrinsic character of Rumin's complex, in the spirit of the
