Isodiametric inequality in Carnot groups

open access: yes, 2010
The classical isodiametric inequality in the Euclidean space says that balls maximize the volume among all sets with a given diameter. We consider in this paper the case of Carnot groups.

Quasisymmetric maps of boundaries of amenable hyperbolic groups [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
In this paper we show that if $Y=N \times \mathbb{Q}_m$ is a metric space where $N$ is a Carnot group endowed with the Carnot-Caratheodory metric then any quasisymmetric map of $Y$ is actually bilipschitz. The key observation is that $Y$ is the parabolic

Invertible Carnot Groups [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We characterize Carnot groups admitting a 1-quasiconformal metric inversion as the Lie groups of Heisenberg type whose Lie algebras satisfy the $J^2$-condition, thus characterizing a special case of inversion invariant bi-Lipschitz homogeneity.

Bio‐Friendly Artificial Muscles Based on Carbon Nanotube Yarns and Eutectogel Derivatives

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Solid‐state artificial muscles based on coiled commercial carbon nanotube yarns coated with eutectogel derivatives exhibit unipolar actuation through selective ion intercalation. Combining polyanionic and polycationic gels enables enhanced contractile stroke and high energy density.

A metric characterization of Carnot groups

open access: yes, 2014
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 ...

Cu3SbSe3‐Alloying‐Induced High Thermoelectric Performance and Mechanical Robustness in Bi2Te3‐Based Thermoelectric Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Combining microstructural engineering with Cu3SbSe3 alloying significantly improves the performance of Bi2Te3‑based thermoelectric materials, yielding a high zT of ≈1.45 (average zT ≈1.3 over 303–503 K), excellent mechanical robustness (Vickers hardness of 96 Hv and compressive strength of 187 MPa), and an impressive conversion efficiency of ≈6.9% at a

The regularity problem for geodesics of the control distance

open access: yesBruno Pini Mathematical Analysis Seminar, 2018
In this survey, we present some recent results on the problem about the regularity of length-minimizing curves in sub-Riemannian geometry. We also sketch the possible application of some ideas coming from Geometric Measure Theory.

Integral Representation of Local Left–Invariant Functionals in Carnot Groups

open access: yesAnalysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces, 2019
The aim of this note is to prove a representation theorem for left–invariant functionals in Carnot groups. As a direct consequence, we can also provide a Г-convergence result for a smaller class of functionals.
