Let $G$ be a connected complex semisimple Lie group, $\Gamma$ be a cocompact, irreducible and torsionless lattice in $G$ and $K$ be a maximal compact subgroup of $G$. Assume $\Gamma$ acts by left multiplication and $K$ acts by right…

We define and study the harmonic curves on domains in $\mathbb{R}^n$ into the first Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^1$. These are the $C^2$-regular mappings which are critical points of the second Dirichlet energy and satisfy the weak…

We prove quantitative stability of isometries on the first Heisenberg group with sub-Riemannian geometry: every $ (1+ \varepsilon)$-quasi-isometry of the John domain of the Heisenberg group $ \mathbb {H} $ is close to some isometry with…

Let $\mathcal{K}(n, V)$ be the set of $n$-dimensional compact Kahler-Einstein manifolds $(X, g)$ satisfying $Ric(g)= - g$ with volume bounded above by $V$. We prove that after passing to a subsequence, any sequence $\{ (X_j,…

The Heisenberg group is one of the simplest sub-Riemannian settings in which we can define non-elliptic H\"ormander type generators. We can then consider coercive inequalities associated to such generators. We prove that a certain class of…

Measure contraction properties $MCP(K,N)$ are synthetic Ricci curvature lower bounds for metric measure spaces which do not necessarily have smooth structures. It is known that if a Riemannian manifold has dimension $N$, then $MCP(K,N)$ is…

For a class of neither pointed nor semisimple Hopf algebras $H_{4n}$ of dimension $4n$, it is shown that they are quasi-triangular, which universal $R$-matrices are described. The corresponding weak Hopf algebras $\mathfrak{w}H_{4n}$ and…

Building upon work of Y. Shalom we give a homological-algebra flavored definition of an induction map in group homology associated to a topological coupling. As an application we obtain estimates of the (co)homological dimension of groups G…

This paper is concerned with the study of Aubry-Mather and weak KAM theories for contact Hamiltonian systems with Hamiltonians $H(x,u,p)$ defined on $T^*M\times\mathbb{R}$, satisfying Tonelli conditions with respect to $p$ and…

We study the weak convergence (in the high-frequency limit) of the frequency components associated with Gaussian-subordinated, spherical and isotropic random fields. In particular, we provide conditions for asymptotic Gaussianity and we…

The notion of $\Gamma$-symmetric space is a natural generalization of the classical notion of symmetric space based on $\Z_2$-grading of Lie algebras. In our case, we consider homogeneous spaces $G/H$ such that the Lie algebra $\g$ of $G$…

It is known that a connected and simply-connected Lie group admits only one left-invariant Riemannian metric up to scaling and isometry if and only if it is isomorphic to the Euclidean space, the Lie group of the real hyperbolic space, or…

We show that generalised time-frequency shifts on the Heisenberg group $\mathbf{H}_n \cong \mathbb{R}^{2n+1}$, realised as a unitary irreducible representation of a nilpotent Lie group acting on $L^{2}(\mathbf{H}_n)$, give rise to a novel…

We prove that on closed Riemannian manifolds with infinite abelian, but not cyclic, fundamental group, any isometry that is homotopic to the identity possesses infinitely many invariant geodesics. We conjecture that the result remains true…

Let $M^n$ be either a simply connected space form or a rank-one symmetric space of noncompact type. We consider Weingarten hypersurfaces of $M\times\mathbb R$, which are those whose principal curvatures $k_1,\dots ,k_n$ and angle function…

We characterize locally Lipschitz mappings and existence of Lipschitz extensions through a first order nonlinear system of PDEs. We extend this study to graded group-valued Lipschitz mappings defined on compact Riemannian manifolds. Through…

In this paper, we construct H\"older maps to Carnot groups equipped with a Carnot metric, especially the first Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}$. Pansu and Gromov observed that any surface embedded in $\mathbb{H}$ has Hausdorff dimension at…

We study the geometry of nonrelatively hyperbolic groups. Generalizing a result of Schwartz, any quasi-isometric image of a non-relatively hyperbolic space in a relatively hyperbolic space is contained in a bounded neighborhood of a single…

We prove that the boundary of an almost minimizer of the intrinsic perimeter in a plentiful group can be approximated by intrinsic Lipschitz graphs. Plentiful groups are Carnot groups of step~$2$ whose center of the Lie algebra is generated…

We prove the following three results in Hamiltonian dynamics. 1. The Weinstein conjecture holds true for every displaceable hypersurface of contact type. 2. Every magnetic flow on a closed Riemannian manifold has contractible closed orbits…
