This paper aims to define and study a notion of orientability in the Heisenberg sense ($\mathbb{H}$-orientability) for the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^n$. In particular, we define such notion for $\mathbb{H}$-regular $1$-codimensional…

In recent work Cortez and Petite defined odometer actions of discrete, finitely generated and residually finite groups G. In this paper we focus on the case where G is the discrete Heisenberg group. We prove a structure theorem for finite…

The geometry of the Heisenberg group acting on the plane arises naturally in geometric topology as a degeneration of the familiar spaces $\mathbb{S}^2,\mathbb{H}^2$ and $\mathbb{E}^2$ via conjugacy limit as defined by Cooper, Danciger, and…

We provide a sharp lower bound for the perimeter of the inner parallel sets of a convex body $\Omega$. The bound depends only on the perimeter and inradius $r$ of the original body and states that \[|\partial\Omega_t| \geq…

We prove that if $\Omega\subseteq\mathbb{R}^N$ is a set with finite perimeter with $\mathscr{H}^{N-1}(\partial \Omega\setminus\partial^* \Omega)=0$, then any set of finite perimeter $E\subseteq\mathbb{R}^N$ can be approximated by a…

To every closed subset $X$ of a symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$ we associate a natural group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms $Ham(X,\omega)$. We equip this group with a semi-norm $\Vert\cdot\Vert^{X,\omega}$, generalizing the Hofer norm. We…

A composite quantum system comprising a finite number k of subsystems which are described with position and momentum variables in Z_{n_{i}}, i=1,...,k, is considered. Its Hilbert space is given by a k-fold tensor product of Hilbert spaces…

The Heisenberg group, here denoted $H$, is the group of all $3\times 3$ upper unitriangular matrices with entries in the ring $\mathbb{Z}$ of integers. A.G. Myasnikov posed the question of whether or not the universal theory of $H$, in the…

We explore the geometry that underlies the osculating nilpotent group structures of the Heisenberg calculus. For a smooth manifold $M$ with a distribution $H\subseteq TM$ analysts use explicit (and rather complicated) coordinate formulas to…

We compare the notions of essential dimension and stable cohomological dimension of a finite group G, prove that the latter is bounded by the length of any normal series with cyclic quotients for G, and show that, however, this bound is not…

I propose an analogue in the first Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}$ of David and Semmes' local symmetry condition (LSC). For closed $3$-regular sets $E \subset \mathbb{H}$, I show that the (LSC) is implied by the $L^{2}(\mathcal{H}^{3}|_{E})$…
