Uniform Gaussian Bounds for Subelliptic Heat Kernels and an Application to the Total Variation Flow of Graphs over Carnot Groups

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces, 2013
In this paper we study heat kernels associated with a Carnot group G, endowed with a family of collapsing left-invariant Riemannian metrics σε which converge in the Gromov- Hausdorff sense to a sub-Riemannian structure on G as ε→ 0.

A Primer on Carnot Groups: Homogenous Groups, Carnot-Carathéodory Spaces, and Regularity of Their Isometries

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces, 2018
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.

Homogeneous geodesics in sub-Riemannian geometry

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations, 2023
We study homogeneous geodesics of sub-Riemannian manifolds, i.e., normal geodesics that are orbits of one-parametric subgroups of isometries. We obtain a criterion for a geodesic to be homogeneous in terms of its initial momentum. We prove that any weakly commutative sub-Riemannian homogeneous space is geodesic orbit, that means all geodesics are ...

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 non-differentiable bundles [PDF]

, 2018
We show that the Chow`s Theorem and an analogue of the Ball-Box Theorem from smooth Sub-Riemannian geometry holds true for a class of non-differentiable tangent subbundles that satisfy a geometric condition. In the final section of the paper we also give

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 ...

The sphere and the cut locus at a tangency point in two-dimensional almost-Riemannian geometry

, 2010
We study the tangential case in 2-dimensional almost-Riemannian geometry. We analyse the connection with the Martinet case in sub-Riemannian geometry. We compute estimations of the exponential map which allow us to describe the conjugate locus and the ...

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.
