H-type manifolds

H-type manifolds are natural structures that arise as generalizations of H-type groups. Below is a talk I gave on that topic that took place during the conference : Sub-Riemannian Geometry and Interactions Paris, September 7–11, 2020.

H-type structures

In two works in collaboration with Erlend Grong, Gianmarco Molino and Luca Rizzi, we introduced the notion of H-type structure: H-type foliations Comparison theorems on H-type sub-Riemannian manifolds Consider a triple where is a manifold, a constant rank sub-bundle of … Continue reading

Lecture 8. Sobolev inequalities on Dirichlet spaces: The Varopoulos approach

In this lecture, we study Sobolev inequalities on Dirichlet spaces. The  approach we develop is related to  Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev theory The link between the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev theory and heat kernel upper bounds is due to Varopoulos, but the proof I give below I … Continue reading

Lecture 6. The Lp theory of Markovian semigroups

Our goal, in this lecture, is to define, for , on . This may be done in a natural way by using the Riesz-Thorin interpolation theorem that we recall below. Theorem: [Riesz-Thorin interpolation theorem] Let , and . Define by … Continue reading
