For each arbitrary finite group $G$, we consider a suitable notion of Gromov Hausdorff distance between compact $G$ metric spaces and derive lower bounds based on equivariant topology methods. As applications, we prove equivariant rigidity…

We prove a rigidity property for mapping tori associated to minimal topological dynamical systems using tools from noncommutative geometry. More precisely, we show that under mild geometric assumptions, an orientation-preserving leafwise…

The paper treats second order fully nonlinear degenerate elliptic equations having a family of subunit vector fields satisfying a full-rank bracket condition. It studies Liouville properties for viscosity sub- and supersolutions in the…

We give a Sobolev inequality characterisation for the vanishing of a fundamental class in the controlled coarse homology of Nowak and Spakula for quasiconvex uniform spaces that support a local weak $(1,1)$-Poincar\'e inequality. As…

In the 1970s and again in the 1990s, Gromov gave a number of theorems and conjectures motivated by the notion that the real homotopy theory of compact manifolds and simplicial complexes influences the geometry of maps between them. The main…

In the 1970s, the collar theorem was proven, establishing the existence of uniform tubular neighborhoods of simple closed geodesics on compact surfaces, whose widths depend only on the lengths of the geodesics and the lower bound of the…

This paper develops a deformation-field geometry for spaces whose local frames may undergo internal stretching, compression, and shear. Ordinary Riemannian geometry takes an intrinsic metric geometry \((M,g)\) as the given datum and uses…

We investigate the local structure of the space $\mathcal{M}$ consisting of isometry classes of compact metric spaces, endowed with the Gromov-Hausdorff metric. We consider finite metric spaces of the same cardinality and suppose that these…

We prove a Rademacher-type theorem for Lipschitz mappings from a subset of a Carnot group to a Banach homogeneous group, equipped with a suitably weakened Radon-Nikodym property. We provide a metric area formula that applies to these…

In this paper we give a generalization of the classical Borel-Carath\'{e}odory Theorem in complex analysis to higher dimensions in the framework of Quaternionic Analysis.

In this paper we study uniform quasiconformal groups of Carnot-by-Carnot groups. We show that they can be conjugated into conformal groups provided the induced action on the space of distinct pairs is cocompact. Following the approach of…

We prove non-extendability results for Lipschitz maps with target space being jet spaces equipped with a left-invariant Riemannian distance, as well as jet spaces equipped with a left-invariant sub-Riemannian Carnot-Caratheodory distance.…

Consider a finite family $\{f_1,\dots,f_\nu\}$ of $C^\infty$ vector fields on a $n$-dimensional ($n\in\mathbb{N}$), smooth manifold $\mathcal{M}$. The celebrated Rashevskii-Chow theorem states that, provided the vector fields…

The study of Sobolev and Poincar\'e inequalities for differential forms in Carnot groups and in the more general sub-Riemannian setting is still an open problem in its full generality. One may conjecture that, for general Carnot groups,…

This paper deals with the theory of rectifiability in arbitrary Carnot groups, and in particular with the study of the notion of $\mathscr{P}$-rectifiable measure. First, we show that in arbitrary Carnot groups the natural…

The comparison map from bounded cohomology to singular cohomology plays an important role in the study of bounded cohomology theory and its applications. The vanishing and covering theorems of Gromov and Ivanov show interesting and useful…

We compute the cohomology ring of a generalised type of configuration space of points in $\mathbb{R}^r$. This configuration space is indexed by a graph. In the case the graph is complete the result is known and it is due to Arnold and…

We give an elementary proof of the classical Hardy inequality on any Carnot group, using only integration by parts and a fine analysis of the commutator structure, which was not deemed possible until now. We also discuss the conditions…

In algebraic geometry, Gromov--Witten invariants are enumerative invariants that count the number of complex curves in a smooth projective variety satisfying some incidence conditions. In 2001, A. Givental and Y.P. Lee defined new…

In the first part we use Gromov's K--area to define the K--area homology which stabilizes into singular homology on the category of pairs of compact smooth manifolds. The second part treats the questions of certain curvature gaps. For…
