The purpose of this article is to study Lipschitz CR mappings from an $h$-extendible (or semi-regular) hypersurface in $\mbb C^n$. Under various assumptions on the target hypersurface, it is shown that such mappings must be smooth. A…

There are three approaches to currents tuned to the anisotropic geometry of Heisenberg groups: Ambrosio and Kirchheim's approach valid for general metric spaces; distributions dual to horizontal differential forms; distributions dual to…

Let $H$ and $G$ be two finite graphs. Define $h_H(G)$ to be the number of homomorphisms from $H$ to $G$. The function $h_H(\cdot)$ extends in a natural way to a function from the set of symmetric matrices to $\mathbb{R}$ such that for…

Let k>n be positive integers. We consider mappings from a subset of k-dimensional Euclidean space R^k to the Heisenberg group H^n with a variety of metric properties, each of which imply that the mapping in question satisfies some weak form…

On H-type sub-Riemannian manifolds we establish sub-Hessian and sub-Laplacian comparison theorems which are uniform for a family of approximating Riemannian metrics converging to the sub-Riemannian one. We also prove a sharp sub-Riemannian…

We prove a monotonicity result at specific points for the Horizontal Perimeter for a class of surfaces in the Heisenberg group.

We consider an $L^2$-Wasserstein type distance $\rho$ on the configuration space $\Gamma_X$ over a Riemannian manifold $X$, and we prove that $\rho$-Lipschitz functions are contained in a Dirichlet space associated with a measure on…

We survey connections between the theory of bi-Lipschitz embeddings and the Sparsest Cut Problem in combinatorial optimization. The story of the Sparsest Cut Problem is a striking example of the deep interplay between analysis, geometry,…

We introduce novel equations, in the spirit of rough path theory, that parametrize level sets of intrinsically regular maps on the Heisenberg group with values in $\mathbb{R}^2$. These equations can be seen as a sub-Riemannian counterpart…

In this paper, we establish a comprehensive characterization of the generalized Lipschitz classes through the study of the rate of convergence of a family of semi-discrete sampling operators, of Durrmeyer type, in $L^p$-setting. To achieve…

We observe that embeddings into random metrics can be fruitfully used to study the $L_1$-embeddability of lamplighter graphs or groups, and more generally lamplighter metric spaces. Once this connection has been established, several new…

The purpose of this note is to make some connection between the sub-Riemannian geometry on Carnot-Caratheodory groups and symplectic geometry. We shall concentrate here on the Heisenberg group, although it is transparent that almost…

Recently, the author and Melentijevi\'c resolved the longstanding Gaussian curvature problem by proving the sharp inequality \[ |\mathcal{K}| < c_0 = \frac{\pi^2}{2} \] for minimal graphs over the unit disk, evaluated at the point of the…

We calculate the K-theory of the Cuntz-Krieger algebra ${\cal O}_E$ associated with an infinite, locally finite graph, via the Bass-Hashimoto operator. The formulae we get express the Grothendieck group and the Whitehead group in purely…

We study the prescribed mean curvature equation for $t$-graphs in a Riemannian Heisenberg group of arbitrary dimension. We characterize the existence of classical solutions in a bounded domain without imposing Dirichlet boundary data, and…

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…

Suppose that $f$ satisfies the following: $(1)$ the polyharmonic equation $\Delta^{m}f=\Delta(\Delta^{m-1} f)$$=\varphi_{m}$ $(\varphi_{m}\in \mathcal{C}(\overline{\mathbb{B}^{n}},\mathbb{R}^{n}))$, (2) the boundary conditions…

Recently, Le Donne and the author introduce a notion of intrinsically Lipschitz graphs in metric spaces. The idea of this paper is to investigate about the properties of the intrinsically Lipschitz constants. More precisely, we give the…

In 1964, Eells and Sampson proved the celebrated long-time existence and convergence for the harmonic map heat flow into non-positively curved Riemannian manifolds. In 1992, Gromov and Schoen initiated the study of harmonic maps into…

We show that every group $H$ of at most exponential growth with respect to some left invariant metric admits a bi-Lipschitz embedding into a finitely generated group $G$ such that $G$ is amenable (respectively, solvable, satisfies a…
