A survey on Inverse mean curvature flow in ROSSes

Complex Manifolds, 2017
In this survey we discuss the evolution by inverse mean curvature flow of star-shaped mean convex hypersurfaces in non-compact rank one symmetric spaces.

Sub-Riemannian Geometry of Curves and Surfaces in Roto-Translation Group Associated with Canonical Connection

Mathematics
The aim of this paper is to obtain the sub-Riemannian properties of the roto-translation group RT. At the same time, we compute the sub-Riemannian limits of Gaussian curvature associated with two kinds of canonical connections for a C2-smooth surface in ...

Characteristic Laplacian in sub-Riemannian geometry

, 2013
We study a Laplacian operator related to the characteristic cohomology of a smooth manifold endowed with a distribution. We prove that this Laplacian does not behave very well: it is not hypoelliptic in general and does not respect the bigrading on forms

Convex Hull Property and Exclosure Theorems for H-Minimal Hypersurfaces in Carnot Groups

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces, 2016
In this paper, we generalize to sub-Riemannian Carnot groups some classical results in the theory of minimal submanifolds. Our main results are for step 2 Carnot groups.

Existence of isoperimetric regions in sub-Finsler nilpotent groups

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces
We consider a nilpotent Lie group with a bracket-generating distribution ℋ{\mathcal{ {\mathcal H} }} and an asymmetric left-invariant norm ∣⋅∣K{| \cdot | }_{K} induced by a convex body K⊆RkK\subseteq {{\mathbb{R}}}^{k} containing 0 in its interior.

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.

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}}),

Good continuation in 3D: the neurogeometry of stereo vision

Frontiers in Computer Science
Classical good continuation for image curves is based on 2D position and orientation. It is supported by the columnar organization of cortex, by psychophysical experiments, and by rich models of (differential) geometry.

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.

Comparing three possible hypoelliptic Laplacians on the 5-dimensional Cartan group via div-curl type estimates

Advanced Nonlinear Studies
On general Carnot groups, the definition of a possible hypoelliptic Hodge-Laplacian on forms using the Rumin complex has been considered in (M. Rumin, “Differential geometry on C-C spaces and application to the Novikov-Shubin numbers of nilpotent Lie ...
