Let be a -step Carnot group. The first aim of this paper is to show an interplay between volume and -perimeter, using one-dimensional horizontal slicing. What we prove is a kind of Fubini theorem for -regular submanifolds of codimension one. We then give some applications of this result: slicing of functions, integral geometric formulae for volume and -perimeter and, making use of a suitable notion of convexity, called, we state a Cauchy type formula for -convex sets. Finally, in the last...
Let be a family of bounded Lipschitz continuous vector fields on . In this paper we prove that if is a set of finite -perimeter then his -perimeter is the limit of the -perimeters of a sequence of euclidean polyhedra approximating in -norm. This extends to Carnot-Carathéodory geometry a classical theorem of E. De Giorgi.
In this paper, we generalize to sub-Riemannian Carnot groups some classical results in the theory of minimal submanifolds. Our main results are for step 2 Carnot groups. In this case, we will prove the convex hull property and some “exclosure theorems” for H-minimal hypersurfaces of class C2 satisfying a Hörmander-type condition.
