Abstract

In this article we describe how the celebrated result by Lions, Papanicolau and Varadhan on the Homogenization of Hamilton-Jacobi equation can be extended beyond the Euclidean setting. More specifically, we show how to obtain a homogenization result in the case of Hamiltonians that are invariant under the action of a discrete (virtually) nilpotent group (i.e., with polynomial growth), following ideas of M. Gromov [18] and P. Pansu [28].
