From January 15th to January 30th, I will have the great pleasure to visit the TIFR Centre For Applicable Mathematics in Bangalore, India. I will be lecturing on some aspects of geometric inequalities on sub-Riemannian manifolds.
Here is a preliminary version of the lecture notes: Bangalore.
The four lectures will mainly be divided into three parts:
- Sub-Laplacian comparison theorems
- Volume doubling properties and Poincare inequalities on sub-Riemannian manifolds
- Isoperimetric and Sobolev inequalities
A main theme in those topics is the use of a generalized curvature dimension condition which is valid for a large class of hypoelliptic second-order differential operators.
