Regularity Estimates for Convex Functions in Carnot-carathéodory Spaces
نویسنده
چکیده
We prove some first order regularity estimates for a class of convex functions in Carnot-Carathéodory spaces, generated by Hörmander vector fields. Our approach relies on both the structure of metric balls induced by Hörmander vector fields and local upper estimates for the corresponding subharmonic functions.

Gradient estimates for elliptic systems in Carnot-Carathéodory spaces
Let X = (X1, X2, . . . ,Xq) be a system of vector fields satisfying the Hörmander condition. We prove L X local regularity for the gradient Xu of a solution of the following strongly elliptic system −X α(a αβ ij (x)Xβu ) = gi −X ∗ αf α i (x) ∀i = 1, 2, . . . , N, where a ij (x) are bounded functions and belong to Vanishing Mean Oscillation space.
متن کاملA Note on the Engulfing Property and the Γ-regularity of Convex Functions in Carnot Groups
We study the engulfing property for convex functions in Carnot groups. As an application we show that the horizontal gradient of functions with this property is Hölder continuous.
متن کاملConvex Functions on Carnot Groups
We consider the definition and regularity properties of convex functions in Carnot groups. We show that various notions of convexity in the subelliptic setting that have appeared in the literature are equivalent. Our point of view is based on thinking of convex functions as subsolutions of homogeneous elliptic equations.
متن کاملImplicit Function Theorem in Carnot–carathéodory Spaces
In this paper, we study the notion of regular surface in the Carnot–Carathéodory spaces and we prove the implicit function theorem in this setting. We fix at every point of R a subset of the tangent space, called horizontal tangent plane, and we assume that it has a basis X1, . . . , Xm of C∞ vector fields satisfying the Hörmander condition of hypoellipticity, (see [16]). This choice induces a ...
متن کاملMulti-parameter Carnot-Carathéodory balls and the theorem of Frobenius
We study multi-parameter Carnot-Carathéodory balls, generalizing results due to Nagel, Stein, and Wainger in the single parameter setting. The main technical result is seen as a uniform version of the theorem of Frobenius. In addition, we study maximal functions associated to certain multi-parameter families of Carnot-Carathéodory balls.
