Sard property for rank 2 polarizations in metabelian Lie groups
Enrico Le Donne, Antonio Lerario, Luca Nalon +2
We provide sharp bounds on the dimension of the abnormal set for rank polarizations on metabelian Lie groups, establishing the Sard property for the end-point map of such group…
Planar lamplighter is not of negative type
Gioacchino Antonelli, Emanuele Caputo, Nicola Cavallucci +3
The lamplighter group over the planar integer grid is proved to not be bi-Lipschitz equivalent to any metric space of negative type, so in particular it does not admit a bi-Lipschi…
Hypergenerated Carnot groups
Enrico Le Donne, Luca Nalon, Nicola Paddeu +1
In this paper we provide an algebraic characterization of those stratified groups in which boundaries with locally constant normal are locally flat. We show that these groups, whic…
Asymptotics of Riemannian Lie groups with nilpotency step 2
Enrico Le Donne, Luca Nalon, Sebastiano Nicolussi Golo +1
We derive sharp estimates comparing asymptotic Riemannian or sub-Riemannian metrics in 2-step nilpotent Lie groups. For each metric, we construct a Carnot metric whose square remai…
Euclidean rectifiability of sub-Finsler spheres in free-Carnot groups of step 2
Enrico Le Donne, Luca Nalon
We consider 2-step free-Carnot groups equipped with sub-Finsler distances. We prove that the metric spheres are codimension-one rectifiable from the Euclidean viewpoint. The result…
On the H-type deviation of step two Carnot groups
Luca Nalon, Jeremy T. Tyson
The H-type deviation, , of a step two Carnot group quantifies the extent to which deviates from the geometrically and algebraically trac…
The Sard problem in step 2 and in filiform Carnot groups
Francesco Boarotto, Luca Nalon, Davide Vittone
We study the Sard problem for the endpoint map in some well-known classes of Carnot groups. Our first main result deals with step 2 Carnot groups, where we provide lower bounds (de…
