Horizontal normal map on the Heisenberg group

Differential Geometry 2008-11-17 v1

Abstract

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 the H-subdifferential at every point.
