We prove that no Brunn--Minkowski inequality from the Riemannian theories of curvature-dimension and optimal transportation can by satisfied by a strictly subRiemannian structure. Our proof relies on the same method as for the Heisenberg…

We prove that ideal sub-Riemannian manifolds (i.e., admitting no non-trivial abnormal minimizers) support interpolation inequalities for optimal transport. A key role is played by sub-Riemannian Jacobi fields and distortion coefficients,…

By using optimal mass transportation and a quantitative H\"older inequality, we provide estimates for the Borell-Brascamp-Lieb deficit on complete Riemannian manifolds. Accordingly, equality cases in Borell-Brascamp-Lieb inequalities…

We establish a weighted pointwise Jacobian determinant inequality on corank 1 Carnot groups related to optimal mass transportation akin to the work of Cordero-Erausquin, McCann and Schmuckenschl\"ager. In this setting, the presence of…

We study the optimal transport problem in sub-Riemannian manifolds where the cost function is given by the square of the sub-Riemannian distance. Under appropriate assumptions, we generalize Brenier-McCann's Theorem proving existence and…

We adapt the problem of continuous congested optimal transport to the Heisenberg group, equipped with a sub-Riemannian metric. Originally introduced in the Euclidean setting by Carlier, Jimenez, and Santambrogio as a path-dependent variant…

This work is devoted to the geometric analysis of metric-measure spaces satisfying a Prekopa-Leindler or a more general Borell-Brascamp-Lieb inequality. Completing the early investigations by Cordero-Erausquin, McCann and Schmuckenschlager,…

The Euclidean paradigm that spheres optimize mean curvature variational problems breaks down in the sub-Riemannian Heisenberg group: neither the Pansu sphere nor the Kor\'anyi sphere is optimal for the variational problems associated with…

We use a Riemannnian approximation scheme to define a notion of $\textit{sub-Riemannian Gaussian curvature}$ for a Euclidean $C^{2}$-smooth surface in the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}$ away from characteristic points, and a notion of…

We obtain the best known quantitative estimates for the $L^p$-Poincar\'e and log-Sobolev inequalities on domains in various sub-Riemannian manifolds, including ideal Carnot groups and in particular ideal generalized H-type Carnot groups and…

This paper examines minimal hypersurfaces in sub-Riemannian Heisenberg groups. We extend the celebrated Simons formula and Kato inequality to the sub-Riemannian setting, and we apply them to obtain integral curvature estimates for stable…

In this article, a proof of the interpolation inequality along geodesics in $p$-Wasserstein spaces is given. This interpolation inequality was the main ingredient to prove the Borel-Brascamp-Lieb inequality for general Riemannian and…

In their seminal work, Cordero-Erausquin, Nazaret and Villani [Adv. Math., 2004] proved sharp Sobolev inequalities in Euclidean spaces via Optimal Mass Transportation, raising the question whether their approach is powerful enough to…

Continuing our previous work (Cohn, Lam, Lu, Yang, Nonlinear Analysis (2011), doi: 10.1016 /j.na.2011.09.053), we obtain a class of Trudinger-Moser inequalities on the entire Heisenberg group, which indicate what the best constants are. All…

As we all know, the Minkowski type problem is the cornerstone of the Brunn-Minkowski theory in Euclidean space. The Heisenberg group as a sub-Riemannian space is the simplest non-Abelian degenerate Riemannian space that is completely…

The Heisenberg groups are examples of sub-Riemannian manifolds homeomorphic, but not diffeomorphic to the Euclidean space. Their metric is derived from curves which are only allowed to move in so-called horizontal directions. We report on…

We consider $H$(eisenberg)-type groups whose law of left translation gives rise to a bracket generating distribution of step 2. In the contrast with sub-Riemannian studies we furnish the horizontal distribution with a nondegenerate…

We derive sub-Riemannian Ricci curvature tensor for sub-Riemannian manifolds. We provide examples including the Heisenberg group, displacement group, and Martinet sub-Riemannian structure with arbitrary weighted volumes, in which we…
