Abstract

In this Note, we define a class of stratified Lie groups of arbitrary step (that are called ``groups of type \star'' throughout the paper), and we prove that, in these groups, sets with constant intrinsic normal are vertical halfspaces. As a consequence, the reduced boundary of a set of finite intrinsic perimeter in a group of type \star is rectifiable in the intrinsic sense (De Giorgi's rectifiability theorem). This result extends the previous one proved by Franchi, Serapioni & Serra Cassano in step 2 groups.
