Consider $\mathbb R^d\times \mathbb R^m$ with the group structure of a two-step nilpotent Lie group and natural parabolic dilations. The maximal function originally introduced by Nevo and Thangavelu in the setting of the Heisenberg group…

It is shown that the algebraic structure of finite Heisenberg groups associated with the tensor product of two Hilbert spaces leads to a simple demonstration valid in all Hilbert space dimensions of the impossibility of non-contextual…

We characterize dual spaces and compute hyperdimensions of irreducible representations for two classes of compact hypergroups namely conjugacy classes of compact groups and compact hypergroups constructed by joining compact and finite…

In this paper we formulate some conjectures in sub-Riemannian geometry concerning a characterisation of the Koranyi-Kaplan ball in a group of Heisenberg type through the existence of a solution to suitably overdetermined problems. We prove…

The Heisenberg group is one of the simplest sub-Riemannian settings in which we can define non-elliptic H\"ormander type generators. We can then consider coercive inequalities associated to such generators. We prove that a certain class of…

In this article we prove that the codimension of the abnormal set of the endpoint map for certain classes of Carnot groups of step 2 is at least three. Our result applies to all step 2 Carnot groups of dimension up to 7 and is a…

Symmetries of finite Heisenberg groups represent an important tool for the study of deeper structure of finite-dimensional quantum mechanics. This short contribution presents extension of previous investigations to composite quantum systems…

Given a finitely generated, torsion-free nilpotent group, we find the maximum possible (critical) regularity for its faithful actions by diffeomorphisms of the closed or half-open interval and of the circle. Our result gives an expression…

Consider the configuration spaces of manifolds. We give a precise formula for the integral cohomological dimension (the degree of top non-trivial integral cohomology group) of unordered configuration spaces of manifolds with non-trivial…

We define new higher-order Alexander modules $\mathcal{A}_n(C)$ and higher-order degrees $\delta_n(C)$ which are invariants of the algebraic planar curve $C$. These come from analyzing the module structure of the homology of certain…

We prove that any corank 1 Carnot group of dimension $k+1$ equipped with a left-invariant measure satisfies the $\mathrm{MCP}(K,N)$ if and only if $K \leq 0$ and $N \geq k+3$. This generalizes the well known result by Juillet for the…

This paper establishes robust obstructions to representing Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms as $k$-th powers ($k \geq 2$) or embedding them in flows for certain higher-dimensional symplectic manifolds $(M,\omega)$, including surface bundles. We…

Higher nilpotent analogues of the $A-\infty$-structure are explicitly defined on arbitrary simplicial complexes, generalizing explicit construction of /hep-th/0704.2609. These structures are associated with the higher nilpotent differential…

The study of Sobolev and Poincar\'e inequalities for differential forms in Carnot groups and in the more general sub-Riemannian setting is still an open problem in its full generality. One may conjecture that, for general Carnot groups,…

In this thesis we investigate the Dehn functions of two different classes of groups: subdirect products, in particular subdirect products of limit groups; and Bestvina-Brady groups. Let D = \Gamma_1 \times ... \times \Gamma_n be a direct…

For a real, non-singular, 2-step nilpotent Lie algebra $\mathfrak{n}$, the group \Aut(\mathfrak{n})/\Aut_0(\mathfrak{n})$, where $\Aut_0(\mathfrak{n})$ is the group of automorphisms which act trivially on the center, is the direct product…

Let X be a finite CW complex or compact Lipschitz neighborhood retract with universal cover Z; let M be a compact orientable manifold of dimension at least 2 and nonempty boundary. We establish the existence of an isoperimetric profile for…

In this paper we consider non-compact non-complex exceptional Lie algebras, and compute the dimensions of the second cohomology groups for most of the nilpotent orbits. For the rest of cases of nilpotent orbits, which are not covered in the…

This is a sequel to \cite{osy} and \cite{sxy}. Associated with $G:=\GL_n$ and its rational representation $(\rho, M)$ over an algebraically closed filed $\bk$, we define an enhanced algebraic group $\uG:=G\ltimes_\rho M$ which is a product…

We give a notion of BV function on an oriented manifold where a volume form and a family of lower semicontinuous quadratic forms $G_p: T_pM \to [0,\infty]$ are given. When we consider sub-Riemannian manifolds, our definition coincide with…
