Sets of finite perimeter associated with vector fields and polyhedral approximation
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.

Shape Sensitivity Analysis of the Dirichlet Laplacian in a Half-Space
Material and shape derivatives for solutions to the Dirichlet Laplacian in a half-space are derived by an application of the speed method. The proposed method is general and can be used for shape sensitivity analysis in unbounded domains for the Neumann Laplacian as well as for the elasticity boundary value problems.

Slicing of generalized surfaces with curvature measures and diameter's estimate
We prove generalizations of Meusnier's theorem and Fenchel's inequality for a class of generalized surfaces with curvature measures. Moreover, we apply them to obtain a diameter estimate.
Some Liouville theorems for PDE problems in periodic media
Liouville problems in periodic media (i.e. the study of properties of global solutions to PDE) arise both in homogenization and dynamical systems. We discuss some recent results for minimal surfaces and free boundaries.
Some relations among volume, intrinsic perimeter and one-dimensional restrictions of functions in Carnot groups
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-convexity, we state a Cauchy type formula for -convex sets. Finally,...
Some Results on Maps That Factor through a Tree
We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a map deffned on a simply-connected quasi-convex metric space to factor through a tree. In case the target is the Euclidean plane and the map is Hölder continuous with exponent bigger than 1/2, such maps can be characterized by the vanishing of some integrals over winding number functions. This in particular shows that if the target is the Heisenberg group equipped with the Carnot-Carathéodory metric and the Hölder exponent of the map is bigger than...
