Convex functions on Carnot groups
We consider the definition and regularity properties of convex functions in Carnot groups. We show that various notions of convexity in the subelliptic setting that have appeared in the literature are equivalent. Our point of view is based on thinking of convex functions as subsolutions of homogeneous elliptic equations.

Nonexistence Results for Semilinear Equations in Carnot Groups
In this paper, following [3], we provide some nonexistence results for semilinear equations in the the class of Carnot groups of type ★.This class, see [20], contains, in particular, all groups of step 2; like the Heisenberg group, and also Carnot ...

Rectifiability in Carnot Groups [PDF]
This thesis is devoted to the study of the theory of rectifiability of sets and measures in the non smooth context of Carnot groups. The focus is on the study of the notion of P-rectifiability and its relation with other notions of rectifiability in Carnot groups.

Conformality and Q-harmonicity in Carnot groups
The main theorem of this paper is that 1-quasiconformal maps are smooth in all Carnot groups. This theorem can be used to prove rigidity theorems for quasiconformal maps between open subsets in certain classes of groups without any a priori smoothness assumption.

Infinite-Dimensional Carnot Groups and Gâteaux Differentiability [PDF]
The article under review contributes to research based around Rademacher's theorem, which states that a Lipschitz mapping between two Euclidean spaces is differentiable almost everywhere with respect to the Lebesgue measure. More specifically, the article joins a flourishing branch of research which has the broad aim of extending Rademacher's theorem ...

Cordes nonlinear operators in Carnot groups
Our aim is to obtain L^p estimates for the second-order horizontal derivatives of the solutions for a nondivergence form nonlinear equation in Carnot groups.

A metric characterization of Carnot groups [PDF]
We give a short axiomatic introduction to Carnot groups and their subRiemannian and subFinsler geometry. We explain how such spaces can be metrically described as exactly those proper geodesic spaces that admit dilations and are isometrically homogeneous.

On the H.-Q. Li inequality on step-two Carnot groups
In this note we show that the gradient estimate of the heat semigroup, or more precisely the H.-Q. Li inequality, is preserved under tensorization, some suitable group epimorphism, and central sum. We also establish the Riemannian counterpart of the H.-Q.

The Traveling Salesman Theorem in Carnot groups [PDF]
Let $\mathbb{G}$ be any Carnot group. We prove that, if a subset of $\mathbb{G}$ is contained in a rectifiable curve, then it satisfies Peter Jones' geometric lemma with some natural modifications. We thus prove one direction of the Traveling Salesman Theorem in $\mathbb{G}$.

Sharp Hardy Identities and Inequalities on Carnot Groups
In this paper we establish general weighted Hardy identities for several subelliptic settings including Hardy identities on the Heisenberg group, Carnot groups with respect to a homogeneous gauge and Carnot–Carathéodory metric, general nilpotent groups ...
