We find all intrinsic measures of $C^{1,1}$ smooth submanifolds in the Engel group, showing that they are equivalent to the corresponding $d$-dimensional spherical Hausdorff measure restricted to the submanifold. The integer $d$ is the…
Horizontal points of smooth submanifolds in stratified groups play the role of singular points with respect to the Carnot-Carathe'odory distance. When we consider hypersurfaces, they coincide with the well known characteristic points. In…
We study the class of transversal submanifolds. We characterize their blow-ups at transversal points and prove a negligibility theorem for their "generalized characteristic set", with respect to the Carnot-Carath\'eodory Hausdorff measure.…
A general approach to compute the spherical measure of submanifolds in homogeneous groups is provided. We focus our attention on the homogeneous tangent space, that is a suitable weighted algebraic expansion of the submanifold. This space…
We establish an area-type formula for the intrinsic spherical Hausdorff measure of every regular curve embedded in an arbitrary graded group.
This paper provides some partial regularity results for geodesics (i.e., isometric images of intervals) in arbitrary sub-Riemannian and sub-Finsler manifolds. Our strategy is to study infinitesimal and asymptotic properties of geodesics in…
We prove that the upper blow-up theorem in the Engel group holds for $C^1$ submanifolds. Combining this result with the known negligibility of the singular set, we obtain an integral representation of the spherical measure for all surfaces…
In this paper we establish the basic tools to develop the "Calculus" associated with group-valued continuously Pansu differentiable mappings. We develop the technical machinery on which all of our results rely. In particular, the…
We introduce an intrinsic estimator for the scalar curvature of a data set presented as a finite metric space. Our estimator depends only on the metric structure of the data and not on an embedding in $\mathbb{R}^n$. We show that the…
We show Riemannian geometry could be studied by identifying the tangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold $\mathcal{M}$ with a subbundle of the trivial bundle $\mathcal{M} \times \mathcal{E}$, obtained by embedding $\mathcal{M}$…
This is the content of a talk given by the author at the 2009 Lehigh University Geometry/Topology Conference. Using the definition of connection given by Dieudonn\'e, the Sasaki metric on the tangent bundle to a Riemannian manifold is…
In this Note, we define a class of stratified Lie groups of arbitrary step (that are called ``groups of type $\star$'' throughout the paper), and we prove that, in these groups, sets with constant intrinsic normal are vertical halfspaces.…
In the sub-Riemannian Heisenberg group equipped with its Carnot-Caratheodory metric and with a Haar measure, we consider isodiametric sets, i.e. sets maximizing the measure among all sets with a given diameter. In particular, given an…
We establish unweighted Hardy-type inequalities on step-two Carnot groups with one-dimensional vertical layer, with explicit lower bounds for the optimal Hardy constant. The approach is based on a quantitative integration-by-parts mechanism…
Given a 2-manifold, a fundamental question to ask is which groups can be realized as the isometry group of a Riemannan metric of constant curvature on the manifold. In this paper, we give a nearly complete classification of such groups for…
We establish Euclidean-type lower bounds for the codimension-1 Hausdorff measure of sets that separate points in doubling and linearly locally contractible metric manifolds. This gives a quantitative topological isoperimetric inequality in…
This is an intuitive survey of extrinsic and intrinsic notions of convergence of manifolds complete with pictures of key examples and a discussion of the properties associated with each notion. We begin with a description of three extrinsic…
We propose a new strong Riemannian metric on the manifold of (parametrized) embedded curves of regularity $H^s$, $s\in(3/2,2)$. We highlight its close relationship to the (generalized) tangent-point energies and employ it to show that this…
We give new sufficient conditions for the integrability and unique integrability of continuous tangent sub-bundles on manifolds of arbitrary dimension, generalizing Frobenius' classical Theorem for C^1 sub-bundles. Using these conditions we…
One of the ultimate goals of Manifold Learning (ML) is to reconstruct an unknown nonlinear low-dimensional manifold embedded in a high-dimensional observation space by a given set of data points from the manifold. We derive a local lower…
