Ultrarigid tangents of sub-Riemannian nilpotent groups

Enrico Le Donne, Alessandro Ottazzi, Ben Warhurst (2014)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We show that the tangent cone at the identity is not a complete quasiconformal invariant for sub-Riemannian nilpotent groups. Namely, we show that there exists a nilpotent Lie group equipped with left invariant sub-Riemannian metric that is not locally quasiconformally equivalent to its tangent cone at the identity. In particular, such spaces are not locally bi-Lipschitz homeomorphic. The result is based on the study of Carnot groups that are rigid in the sense that their only quasiconformal maps...

Unbounded harmonic functions on homogeneous manifolds of negative curvature

Richard Penney, Roman Urban (2002)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We study unbounded harmonic functions for a second order differential operator on a homogeneous manifold of negative curvature which is a semidirect product of a nilpotent Lie group N and A = ℝ⁺. We prove that if F is harmonic and satisfies some growth condition then F has an asymptotic expansion as a → 0 with coefficients from 𝓓'(N). Then we single out a set of at most two of these coefficients which determine F. Then using asymptotic expansions we are able to prove some theorems...
