In this paper, we prove \( L^p \) boundedness results for lacunary elliptic maximal operators on the Heisenberg group. Furthermore, we extend these \( L^p \) estimates from skew-symmetric matrices, which naturally arise in Heisenberg group…

A few years ago, Bourgain proved that the centered Hardy-Littlewood maximal function for the cube has dimension free $L^p$-bounds for $p>1$. We extend his result to products of Euclidean balls of different dimensions. In addition, we…

Let (H_t) be the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup on R^d with covariance matrix I and drift matrix \lambda(R-I), where \lambda>0 and R is a skew-adjoint matrix and denote by \gamma_\infty the invariant measure for (H_t). Semigroups of this form…

We study $L^p$ boundedness of the maximal average over dilations of a smooth hypersurface $S$. When the decay rate of the Fourier transform of a measure on $S$ is $1/2$, we establish the optimal maximal bound, which settles the conjecture…

We show that there exists an algorithm to decide any single equation in the Heisenberg group in finite time. The method works for all two-step nilpotent groups with rank-one commutator, which includes the higher Heisenberg groups. We also…

Young's convolution inequality provides an upper bound for the convolution of functions in terms of $L^p$ norms. It is known that for certain groups, including Heisenberg groups, the optimal constant in this inequality is equal to that for…

We discuss questions by Mostow \cite{Mo1}, Bers \cite{B} and Krushkal \cite{Kr1, Kr2} about uniqueness of a conformal or spherical CR structure on the sphere at infinity $\partial H_\mathbb{F}^n$ of symmetric rank one space $H_\mathbb{F}^n$…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a nilpotent Lie algebra which is also regarded as a homogeneous Lie group with the Campbell-Hausdorff multiplication. This allows to define a generalized multiplication $f \# g = (f^{\vee} * g^{\vee})^{\wedge}$ of two…

We consider a nonvariational degenerate elliptic operator structured on a system of left invariant, 1-homogeneous, H\"ormander's vector fields on a Carnot group in $R^{n}$, where the matrix of coefficients is symmetric, uniformly positive…

For the spherical mean operators $\mathcal{A}_t$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\ge 2$, we consider the maximal functions $M_Ef =\sup_{t\in E} |\mathcal{A}_t f|$, with dilation sets $E\subset [1,2]$. In this paper we give a surprising…

We bound the higher-order Dehn functions and other filling invariants of certain Carnot groups using approximation techniques. These groups include the higher-dimensional Heisenberg groups, jet groups, and central products of two-step…

In this article, we study weighted estimates for a general class of lacunary maximal functions on homogeneous groups. As an application we derive improved weighted estimates for the lacunary maximal function associated to the Kor\'anyi…

We prove new (sharp) Liouville-type properties via degenerate Hadamard three-sphere theorems for fully nonlinear equations structured over Heisenberg vector fields. As model examples, we cover the case of Pucci's extremal operators…

The goal of this note is to establish non-tangential convergence results for Schr\"{o}dinger operators along restricted curves. We consider the relationship between the dimension of this kind of approach region and the regularity for the…

We establish pointwise almost everywhere convergence for ergodic averages along polynomial sequences in nilpotent groups of step two of measure-preserving transformations on $\sigma$-finite measure spaces. We also establish corresponding…

We show that every graded nilpotent Lie group $G$ of step $r$, equipped with a left invariant metric homogeneous with respect to the dilations induced by the grading, (this includes all Carnot groups with Carnot-Caratheodory metric) is…

Let ${\frak M}^\alpha$ be the spherical maximal operators of complex order $\alpha$ on ${\mathbb R^n}$. In this article we show that when $n\geq 2$, suppose \begin{eqnarray*} \|{\frak M}^{\alpha} f \|_{L^p({\mathbb R^n})} \leq C\|f…

The main result of this paper is a construction of finitely additive measures for higher rank abelian actions on Heisenberg nilmanifolds. Under a full measure set of Diophantine conditions for the generators of the action, we construct…

Let $f\in L^p(\mathbb{R}^d)$, $d\ge 3$, and let $A_t f(x)$ the average of $f$ over the sphere with radius $t$ centered at $x$. For a subset $E$ of $[1,2]$ we prove close to sharp $L^p\to L^q$ estimates for the maximal function $\sup_{t\in…

We show that if the lower central series of the fundamental group of a closed oriented $3$-manifold stabilizes then the maximal nilpotent quotient is a cyclic group, a quaternion $2$-group cross an odd order cyclic group, or a Heisenberg…
