The main result of the present paper is a Rademacher-type theorem for intrinsic Lipschitz graphs of codimension $k\leq n$ in sub-Riemannian Heisenberg groups $\mathbb H^n$. For the purpose of proving such a result we settle several related…
In the first Heisenberg group, we study entire, locally Sobolev intrinsic graphs that are stable for the sub-Riemannian area. We show that, under appropriate integrability conditions for the derivatives, the intrinsic graph must be an…
We prove a monotonicity result at specific points for the Horizontal Perimeter for a class of surfaces in the Heisenberg group.
In this paper, we elucidate certain properties of the $(2n+1)$-dimensional Heisenberg group, and establish some theorems on the invariant differential operators on the group.
In this work we prove the Stepanov differentiation theorem for multiple-valued functions. This theorem is proved in the wide generality of metric-space-multiple-valued functions without relying on a Lipschitz extension result. General…
We discuss the notion of submanifolds with boundary with intrinsic $C^1$ regularity in sub-Riemannian Heisenberg groups and we provide some examples. Eventually, we present a Stokes' Theorem for such submanifolds involving the integration…
We prove that a strictly stable minimal $C^2_h$ intrinsic graph G is locally area-minimizing, i.e. given any $C^1_h$ graph $S$ with the same boundary, $\text{Area}(G)<\text{Area}(S)$ unless $G=S$. As a consequence we show the existence and…
We introduce a homotopy theory of digraphs (directed graphs) and prove its basic properties, including the relations to the homology theory of digraphs constructed by the authors in previous papers. In particular, we prove the homotopy…
We prove an analogue of Chernoff's theorem for the sublaplacian on the Heisenberg group and use it prove a version of Ingham's theorem for the Fourier transform on the same group.
In arbitrary Carnot groups we study intrinsic graphs of maps with horizontal target. These graphs are $C^1_H$ regular exactly when the map is uniformly intrinsically differentiable. Our first main result characterizes the uniformly…
We introduce and study the notion of $C^1_\mathbb{H}$-regular submanifold with boundary in sub-Riemannian Heisenberg groups. As an application, we prove a version of Stokes' Theorem for $C^1_\mathbb{H}$-regular submanifolds with boundary…
We construct intrinsic Lipschitz graphs in Carnot groups with the property that, at every point, there exist infinitely many different blow-up limits, none of which is a homogeneous subgroup. This provides counterexamples to a Rademacher…
In this paper, we study some basic geometric properties of pseudohermitian submanifolds of the Heisenberg groups. In particular, we obtain the uniqueness and existence theorems, and some rigidity theorems.
We prove that a family of entire intrinsic minimal graphs in the Heisenberg group are not perimeter minimizing.
In this paper, we prove a Liouville theorem for the $2$-Hessian equation on the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^n$. The result is obtained by choosing a suitable test function and using integration by parts to derive the necessary integral…
Using a geometric construction, we solve Plateau's Problem in the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^{1}$ for intrinsic graphs defined on a convex domain $D$, under a smallness condition either on the boundary $\partial D$ or on the Lipschitz…
We investigate the notion of H-subdifferential and H-normal map of a function on the Heisenberg group, based on its sub-Riemannian structure. In particular, a characterization of the convexity of a function is given via the nonemptiness of…

We prove an analogue of Chernoff's theorem for the Laplacian $ \Delta_{\mathbb{H}} $ on the Heisenberg group $ \mathbb{H}^n.$ As an application, we prove Ingham type theorems for the group Fourier transform on $ \mathbb{H}^n $ and also for…
We prove a Riemann-Roch theorem for real divisors on edge-weighted graphs over the reals, extending the result of Baker and Norine for integral divisors on graphs with multiple edges.
