This paper is concerned with a PDE-based approach to the horizontally quasiconvex (h-quasiconvex for short) envelope of a given continuous function in the Heisenberg group. We provide a characterization for upper semicontinuous,…

Given a real-valued function $c$ defined on the cartesian product of a generic Carnot group $\G$ and the first layer $V_1$ of its Lie algebra, we introduce a notion of $c$ horizontal convex ($c$ H-convex) function on $\G$ as the supremum of…

We find a different approach to define convex functions in the sub-Riemannian setting. A function on a sub-Riemannian manifold is nonholonomically geodesic convex if its restriction to any nonholonomic (straightest) geodesic is convex. In…

In this work, we discuss the continuity of $h$-convex functions by introducing the concepts of $h$-convex curves ($h$-cord). Geometric interpretation of $h$-convexity is given. The fact that for a $h$-continuous function $f$, is being…

We show that domains, that allow for convex functions with unbounded gradient at their boundary, are convex.

This paper introduces in a natural way a notion of horizontal convex envelopes of continuous functions in the Heisenberg group. We provide a convexification process to find the envelope in a constructive manner. We also apply the…

In this article, we investigate the pointwise behaviors of functions on the Heisenberg group. We find wavelet characterizations for the global and local H\"older exponents. Then we prove some a priori upper bounds for the multifractal…

Results on the upper and lower semicontinuity of functionals defined on spaces of convex and more general functions are established. In particular, the following result is obtained. Let $\phi(v; \cdot)$ be the density of the absolutely…

We show that the square of Carnot-Carath\'eodory distance from the origin, in step 2 Carnot groups, enjoys the horizontal semiconcavity (h-semiconcavity) everywhere in the group including the origin. We first give a proof in the case of…

We classify the geodetically convex sets and geodetically convex functions on the Heisenberg group ${\mathbb H}^n$, $n\geq 1$.

In this paper, two new classes of convex functions as a generalization of convexity which is called (h-s)_{1,2}-convex functions are given. We also prove some Hadamard-type inequalities and applications to the special means are given.

It is shown that if the squeezing function tends to one at an h-extendible boundary point of a $\mathcal C^\infty$-smooth, bounded pseudoconvex domain, then the point is strictly pseudoconvex.

In this paper, a new class of convex functions as a generalization of convexity which is called (h-m)-convex functions and some properties of this class is given. We also prove some Hadamard's type inequalities.

We prove some regularity estimates for a class of convex functions in Carnot-Carath\'eodory spaces, generated by H\"ormander vector fields. Our approach relies on both the structure of metric balls induced by H\"ormander vector fields and…

We prove H\"older continuous regularity of bounded, uniformly continuous, viscosity solutions of degenerate fully nonlinear equations defined in all of $\mathbb{R}^n$ space. In particular the result applies also to some operators in Carnot…

In this paper we prove that maximal H-monotone operators $T:H^n\rightrightarrows V_1$ whose domain is all the Heisenberg group $H^n$ are locally bounded. This implies that they are upper semicontinuous. As a consequence, maximal…

We characterise in this work the $q$-plurisubharmonic functions in terms of the theory of viscosity solutions. We show that an upper semicontinuous function is $q$-plurisubharmonic if and only if its complex Hessian has at most $q$ strictly…

We shown that every continuous local functional on the space of finite convex functions on $\mathbb{R}^n$ is a valuation. This relation is used to establish a homogeneous decomposition for the class of polynomial local functionals as well…

We consider sets of locally finite perimeter in Carnot groups. We show that if E is a set of locally finite perimeter in a Carnot group G, then for almost every x in G with respect to the perimeter measure of E, some tangent of E at x is a…

We prove a rank-one theorem \`a la G. Alberti for the derivatives of vector-valued maps with bounded variation in a class of Carnot groups that includes Heisenberg groups $\mathbb H^n$ for $n\geq 2$. The main tools are properties relating…
