Abstract We give a complete analytic and geometric description of the horofunction boundary for polygonal sub-Finsler metrics, that is, those that arise as asymptotic cones of word metrics, on the Heisenberg group. We develop theory for the more general case of horofunction boundaries in homogeneous groups by connecting horofunctions to Pansu derivatives of the distance function.

We investigate the circumstances under which the distance function to a closed set in a Banach space having a one-sided directional derivative equal to 1 or −1 implies the existence of nearest points. In reflexive spaces we show that at a dense set of points outside a closed set the distance function has a directional derivative equal to 1.

We give relations between main operators of quantum mechanics on one of most general classes of nilpotent Lie groups. Namely, we show relations between momentum and position operators as well as Euler and Coulomb potential operators on homogeneous groups. Homogeneous group analogues of some well-known inequalities such as Hardy's inequality, Heisenberg–Kennard type and Heisenberg–Pauli–Weyl type uncertainty inequalities, as well as Caffarelli–Kohn–Nirenberg inequality are derived, with best constants. The obtained relations yield new results already in the setting of both isotropic and anisotropic R n , and of the Heisenberg group. The proof demonstrates that the method of establishing equalities in sharper versions of such inequalities works well in both isotropic and anisotropic settings.

Abstract In this paper we prove that every collection of measurable functions fα , |α| = m, coincides a.e. withmth order derivatives of a function g ∈ Cm−1 whose derivatives of order m − 1 may have any modulus of continuity weaker than that of a Lipschitz function. This is a stronger version of earlier results of Lusin, Moonens-Pfeffer and Francos. As an application we construct surfaces in the Heisenberg group with tangent spaces being horizontal a.e.

Abstract The asymptotic behavior of solutions to a family of Dirichlet boundary value problems, involving differential operators in divergence form, on a domain equipped with a Finsler metric is investigated. Solutions are shown to converge uniformly to the distance function to the boundary of the domain, which takes into account the Finsler norm involved in the equation. This implies that a well-known result in the analysis of problems modeling torsional creep continues to hold in this more general setting.
