We use porosity to study differentiability of Lipschitz maps on Carnot groups. Our first result states that directional derivatives of a Lipschitz function act linearly outside a $\sigma$-porous set. The second result states that irregular…

Let $M$ be a subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$. If $M$ is not porous, in particular if it has positive $n$-dimensional Lebesgue measure, we prove that the Lipschitz spaces $\mathrm{Lip}_0(M)$ and $\mathrm{Lip}_0(\mathbb{R}^n)$ are linearly…

Suppose A is an open subset of a Carnot group G, where G has a discrete analogue, and H is another Carnot group. We show that a Lipschitz function from A to H whose image has positive Hausdorff measure in the appropriate dimension is…

We show that the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^n$ contains a measure zero set $N$ such that every Lipschitz function $f\colon \mathbb{H}^n \to \mathbb{R}$ is Pansu differentiable at a point of $N$. The proof adapts the construction of small…

Carnot groups are distinguished spaces that are rich of structure: they are those Lie groups equipped with a path distance that is invariant by left-translations of the group and admit automorphisms that are dilations with respect to the…

We give a constructive proof that any $\sigma$-porous subset of a Hilbert space has Lebesgue measure zero on typical $C^{1}$ curves. Further, we discover that this result does not extend to all forms of porosity; we find that even power-$p$…

We give lower bound estimates for the macroscopic scale of coarse differentiability of Lipschitz maps from a Carnot group with the Carnot-Carath\'{e}odory metric $(G,\dcc)$ to a few different classes of metric spaces. Using this result, we…

For any non-trivial convex and bounded subset $C$ of a Banach space, we show that outside of a $\sigma$-porous subset of the space of non-expansive mappings $C\to C$, all mappings have the maximal Lipschitz constant one witnessed locally at…

We show that, given an absolutely continuous horizontal curve $\gamma$ in the Heisenberg group, there is a $C^1$ horizontal curve $\Gamma$ such that $\Gamma=\gamma$ and $\Gamma'=\gamma'$ outside a set of small measure. Conversely, we…

In this paper, we study characteristics of horofunction boundaries of Carnot groups. In particular, we show that for Carnot groups, i.e., stratified nilpotent Lie groups equipped with certain left-invariant homogeneous metrics, all…

Let $f$ be a Lipschitz map from a subset $A$ of a stratified group to a Banach homogeneous group. We show that directional derivatives of $f$ act as homogeneous homomorphisms at density points of $A$ outside a $\sigma$-porous set. At…

In the setting of Carnot groups, we exhibit examples of intrinisc Lipschitz curves of positive $\mathcal{H}^1$-measure that intersect every connected intrinsic Lipschitz curve in a $\mathcal{H}^1$-negligible set. As a consequence such…

In the sub-Riemannian Heisenberg group equipped with its Carnot-Caratheodory metric and with a Haar measure, we consider isodiametric sets, i.e. sets maximizing the measure among all sets with a given diameter. In particular, given an…

We study left-invariant distances on Lie groups for which there exists a one-parameter family of homothetic automorphisms. The main examples are Carnot groups, in particular the Heisenberg group with the standard dilations. We are…

We construct a Lipschitz curve in the free Carnot group of step 3 with 2 generators that meets every $C^{1}$ horizontal curve in a set of measure zero. This shows that the $C^{1}_{H}$-Lusin property fails in a strong sense in this group,…

We consider a large class of geodesic metric spaces, including Banach spaces, hyperbolic spaces and geodesic $\mathrm{CAT}(\kappa)$-spaces, and investigate the space of nonexpansive mappings on either a convex or a star-shaped subset in…

We study the behavior of Lipschitz functions on intrinsic $C^1$ submanifolds of Heisenberg groups: our main result is their almost everywhere tangential Pansu differentiability. We also provide two applications: a Lusin-type approximation…

In this paper we discuss the convergence of distances associated to converging structures of Lipschitz vector fields and continuously varying norms on a smooth manifold. We prove that, under a mild controllability assumption on the limit…

We obtain a criterion for an analytic subset of a Euclidean space to contain points of differentiability of a typical Lipschitz function, namely, that it cannot be covered by countably many sets, each of which is closed and purely…

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.…
