We consider left-invariant distances $d$ on a Lie group $G$ with the property that there exists a multiplicative one-parameter group of Lie automorphisms $(0, \infty)\rightarrow\mathtt{Aut}(G)$, $\lambda\mapsto\delta_\lambda$, so that $d(\delta_\lambda x,\delta_\lambda y) = \lambda d(x,y)$, for all $x,y\in G$ and all $\lambda>0$. First, we show that all such distances are admissible, that is, they induce the manifold topology. Second, we characterize multiplicative one-parameter groups of Lie… Expand

Polynomial and horizontally polynomial functions on Lie groups
• Mathematics

We generalize both the notion of polynomial functions on Lie groups and the notion of horizontally affine maps on Carnot groups. We fix a subset $S$ of the algebra $\mathfrak g$ of left-invariantExpand
Pauls rectifiable and purely Pauls unrectifiable smooth hypersurfaces

This paper is related to the problem of finding a good notion of rectifiability in sub-Riemannian geometry. In particular, we study which kind of results can be expected for smooth hypersurfaces inExpand

In this paper we prove the one-dimensional Preiss' theorem in the first Heisenberg group $\mathbb H^1$. More precisely we show that a Radon measure $\phi$ on $\mathbb H^1$ with positive and finiteExpand

Isometries of nilpotent metric groups
• Mathematics

We consider Lie groups equipped with arbitrary distances. We only assume that the distance is left-invariant and induces the manifold topology. For brevity, we call such object metric Lie groups.Expand

Abstract. We prove an ergodic rigidity theorem for discrete isometry groups of CAT(-1) spaces. We give explicit examples of divergence isometry groups with infinite covolume in the case of trees,Expand
From homogeneous metric spaces to Lie groups

We study connected, locally compact metric spaces with transitive isometry groups. For all ε ∈ R, each such space is (1, ε)-quasi-isometric to a Lie group equipped with a left-invariant metric.Expand
Geometry of Locally Compact Groups of Polynomial Growth and Shape of Large Balls
We get asymptotics for the volume of large balls in an arbitrary locally compact group G with polynomial growth. This is done via a study of the geometry of G and a generalization of P. Pansu'sExpand
Carnot-Carathéodory spaces seen from within
Let V be a smooth manifold where we distinguish a subset H in the set of all piecewise smooth curves c in V. We assume that H is defined by a local condition on curves, i.e. if c is divided intoExpand

The object of this monograph is to give an exposition of the real-variable theory of Hardy spaces (HP spaces). This theory has attracted considerable attention in recent years because it led to aExpand
