Isodiametric Inequality in Carnot Groups
نویسنده
چکیده
The classical isodiametric inequality in the Euclidean space says that balls maximize the volume among all sets with a given diameter. We consider in this paper the case of Carnot groups. We prove that for any Carnot group equipped with a Haar measure one can find a homogeneous distance for which this fails to hold. We also consider Carnot-Carathéodory distances and prove that this also fails for these distances as soon as there are length minimizing curves that stop to be minimizing in finite time. Next we study some connections with the comparison between Hausdorff and spherical Hausdorff measures, rectifiability and the generalized 1/2-Besicovitch conjecture giving in particular some cases where this conjecture fails.

The Topology of Graph Products of Groups
Given a finite (connected) simplicial graph with groups assigned to the vertices, the graph product of the vertex groups is the free product modulo the relation that adjacent groups commute. The graph product of finitely presented infinite groups is both semistable at infinity and quasi-simply filtrated. Explicit bounds for the isoperimetric inequality and isodiametric inequality for graph prod...
متن کاملIsodiametric and Isoperimetric Inequalities for Complexes and Groups
It is shown that D. Cohen’s inequality bounding the isoperimetric function of a group by the double exponential of its isodiametric function is valid in the more general context of locally finite simply connected complexes. It is shown that in this context this bound is ‘best possible ’. Also studied are seconddimensional isoperimetric functions for groups and complexes. It is shown that the se...
متن کاملQuantitative Stability in the Isodiametric Inequality via the Isoperimetric Inequality
The isodiametric inequality is derived from the isoperimetric inequality trough a variational principle, establishing that balls maximize the perimeter among convex sets with fixed diameter. This principle brings also quantitative improvements to the isodiametric inequality, shown to be sharp by explicit nearly optimal sets.

متن کاملFunctions on Groups and Computational Complexity
We give some connections between various functions defined on finitely presented groups (isoperimetric, isodiametric, Todd-Coxeter radius, filling length functions, etc.), and we study the relation between those functions and the computational complexity of the word problem (deterministic time, nondeterministic time, symmetric space). We show that the isoperimetric function can always be linear...
