We add to the literature the following observation. If $\mu$ is a singular measure on $\mathbb{R}^n$ which assigns measure zero to every porous set and $f:\mathbb{R}^n\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ is a Lipschitz function which is…
This work is an investigation of perimeter measures in the metric measure space given by the Heisenberg group with Haar measure and a Carnot-Carath\'eodory metric, which is in general a sub-Finsler metric. Included is a reduction of…
This paper contributes to the study of sets of finite intrinsic perimeter in Carnot groups. Our intent is to characterize in which groups the only sets with constant intrinsic normal are the vertical half-spaces. Our viewpoint is algebraic:…
Combining Varadhan's formula, Loewner's theorem with the method of stationary phase, we study the exact formula of the Carnot-Carath\'eodory distance on $2$-step groups. The method is also adapted to determine all normal geodesics from the…
We study removable sets for the Campanato, H\"{o}lder continuous, $L^p_{\text{loc}}$, and Lipschitz functions in Carnot groups. In the former three cases, we characterize removability through the use of capacities with respect to any…
Stratified groups are those simply connected Lie groups whose Lie algebras admit a derivation for which the eigenspace with eigenvalue 1 is Lie generating. When a stratified group is equipped with a left-invariant path distance that is…
L. Capogna and M. Cowling showed that if $\phi$ is 1-quasiconformal on an open subset of a Carnot group G, then composition with $\phi$ preserves Q-harmonic functions, where Q denotes the homogeneous dimension of G. Then they combine this…
The goal of this paper is to define and inspect a metric version of the universal path space and study its application to purely 2-unrectifiable spaces, in particular the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^1$. The construction of the universal…
We construct a compact metric space that has any other compact metric space as a tangent, with respect to the Gromov-Hausdorff distance, at all points. Furthermore, we give examples of compact sets in the Euclidean unit cube, that have…
In this paper we study various Hardy inequalities in the Heisenberg group $\mathbb H^n$, w.r.t. the Carnot-Carath\'eodory distance $\delta$ from the origin. We firstly show that the optimal constant for the Hardy inequality is strictly…
A Carnot group G is a connected, simply connected, nilpotent Lie group with stratified Lie algebra. Intrinsic regular surfaces in Carnot groups play the same role as C^1 surfaces in Euclidean spaces. As in Euclidean spaces, intrinsic…
We prove several functional and geometric inequalities only assuming the linearity and a quantitative $\mathrm{L}^\infty$-to-Lipschitz smoothing of the heat semigroup in metric-measure spaces. Our results comprise a Buser inequality, a…
The class, denoted by $\mathscr{S}$, of totally disconnected locally compact groups which are non-discrete, compactly generated, and topologically simple contains many compelling examples. In recent years, a general theory for these groups,…
We observe that a function on a group equipped with a bi-invariant word metric is Lipschitz if and only if it is a partial quasimorphism bounded on the generating set. We also show that an undistorted element is always detected by an…
We give a constructive proof for the following new collar theorem: every locally collared closed set that is paracompact in a Hausdorff space is collared. This includes the important special case of locally collared closed sets in…
We study how small is the set of critical values of the distance function from a compact (resp. closed) set in the plane or in a connected complete two-dimensional Riemannian manifold. We show that for a compact set, the set of critical…
We study contact 3-manifolds using the techniques of sub-Riemannian geometry and geometric measure theory, in particular establishing properties of their Lipschitz homotopy groups. We prove a biLipschitz version of the Theorem of Darboux: a…
The bounded domains of holomorphy in~$\mathbf{C}^n$ whose Bergman kernel functions are zero-free form a nowhere dense subset (with respect to a variant of the Hausdorff distance) of all bounded domains of holomorphy.
We show that for any purely 2-unrectifiable metric space $M$, for example the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^1$ equipped with the Carnot-Carath\'{e}odory metric, every homotopy class $[\gamma]$ of Lipschitz paths contains a length minimizing…
We compute the horizontal Hessian of the signed Carnot-Charatheodory distance from a surface S in the Heisenberg group H. The expression for the Hessian is in terms of the surface's intrinsic curvatures. As an application, we compute the…
