Naturally reductive homogeneous spaces and generalized Heisenberg groups
We obtain upper and lower estimates for the Green function for a second order noncoercive differential operator on a homogeneous manifold of negative curvature.
We show a first nontrivial example of coarea formula for vector-valued Lipschitz maps defined on the three dimensional Heisenberg group. In this coarea formula, integration on level sets is performed with respect to the 2-dimensional spherical Hausdorff measure, built by the Carnot-Carathéodory distance. The standard jacobian is replaced by the so called horizontal jacobian, corresponding to the jacobian of the Pansu differential of the Lipschitz map. Joining previous results, we achieve all possible...
