This work concerns the non-flat metrics on the Heisenberg Lie group of dimension three $\Heis_3(\RR)$ and the bi-invariant metrics on the solvable Lie groups of dimension four. On $\Heis_3(\RR)$ we prove that the property of the metric…

We study metric contraction properties for metric spaces associated with left-invariant sub-Riemannian metrics on Carnot groups. We show that ideal sub-Riemannian structures on Carnot groups satisfy such properties and give a lower bound of…

We study the question: when are Lipschitz mappings dense in the Sobolev space $W^{1,p}(M,\mathbf{H}^n)$? Here $M$ denotes a compact Riemannian manifold with or without boundary, while $\mathbf{H}^n$ denotes the $n$th Heisenberg group…

For each submanifold of a stratified group, we find a number and a measure only depending on its tangent bundle, the grading and the fixed Riemannian metric. In two step stratified groups, we show that such number and measure coincide with…

We study homogeneous Lorentzian manifolds $M = G/L$ of a connected reductive Lie group $G$ modulo a connected reductive subgroup $L$, under the assumption that $M$ is (almost) $G$-effective and the isotropy representation is totally…

We prove a formula for the normal injectivity radius(thickness)i(K,M)for C^{1,1} compact submanifolds K^k of complete Riemannian manifolds M^n in terms of geometric focal distance and double critical points. We also prove the C^1…

We prove results toward classifying compact Lorentz manifolds on which Heisenberg groups act isometrically. We give a general construction, leading to a new example, of codimension-one actions--those for which the dimension of the…

Let $M$ be a finite volume analytic pseudo-Riemannian manifold that admits an isometric $G$-action with a dense orbit, where $G$ is a connected non-compact simple Lie group. For low-dimensional $M$, i.e. $\dim(M) < 2\dim(G)$, when the…

We prove a structure theorem for any $n$-rectifiable set $E\subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, $n\ge 1$, satisfying a weak version of the lower ADR condition, and having locally finite $H^n$ ($n$-dimensional Hausdorff) measure. Namely, that…

We prove a strong rigidity property of the Heisenberg groups, that is, they can be distinguished from any other 1-connected Lie groups via their unitary dual spaces, in particular via the Morita equivalence class of their group…

We present three families of exact, cohomogeneity-one Einstein metrics in $(2n+2)$ dimensions, which are generalizations of the Stenzel construction of Ricci-flat metrics to those with a positive cosmological constant. The first family of…

The aim of this paper is to give verifiable criteria for the existence of {\em irreducible} homomorphisms of $\pi_{1}(\mathbb P^1 - \mathcal R)$ into compact semisimple groups, for a finite subset $\mathcal R$ such that the conjugacy…

We characterize the rigidity of Carnot groups in the class of $C^2$ contact maps in terms of complex characteristics. Furthermore, we obtain a Liouville type theorem for Carnot groups which states that 1-quasiconformal maps form finite…

We show that a suitable quantitative Fatou Theorem characterizes uniform rectifiability in the codimension 1 case.

We establish a partial rectifiability result for the free boundary of a $k$-varifold $V$. Namely, we first refine a theorem of Gr\"uter and Jost by showing that the first variation of a general varifold with free boundary is a Radon…

We investigate metric properties of level sets of horizontally differentiable maps defined on the first Heisenberg group $(\Bbb{H}^1,d_{cc})$ equipped with the standard sub-Riemannian structure. In particular, we present an exhaustive…

We show that for every complete metric space $M$ there exists another complete metric space $N$ of the same density character such that the curve-flat quotient of $N$ is isometric to $M$. Moreover, we show that if $M$ is compact and…

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 H-type deviation, $\delta({\mathbb G})$, of a step two Carnot group ${\mathbb G}$ quantifies the extent to which ${\mathbb G}$ deviates from the geometrically and algebraically tractable class of Heisenberg-type (H-type) groups. In an…
