Abstract

We prove sharp geometric rigidity estimates for isometries on Heisenberg groups. Our main result asserts that every (1+ε)(1+\varepsilon)-quasi-isometry on a John domain of the Heisenberg group Hn\mathbb{H}^n, n>1n>1, is close to some isometry up to proximity order ε+ε\sqrt{\varepsilon}+\varepsilon in the uniform norm, and up to proximity order ε\varepsilon in the Lp1L_p^1-norm. We give examples showing the asymptotic sharpness of our results.
