We show that every Carnot group G of step 2 admits a Hausdorff dimension one ‘universal differentiability set’ N such that every Lipschitz map f : G → R is Pansu differentiable at some point of N. This relies on the fact that existence of a maximal directional derivative of f at a point x implies Pansu differentiability at the same point x. We show that such an implication holds in Carnot groups of step 2 but fails in the Engel group which has step 3.

Lipschitz Carnot-Carathéodory Structures and their Limits
Antonelli, Gioacchino; Le Donne, Enrico; Nicolussi Golo, Sebastiano (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2023)In this paper we discuss the convergence of distances associated to converging structures of Lipschitz vector fields and continuously varying norms on a smooth manifold. We prove that, under a mild controllability assumption ... -
Nilpotent Groups and Bi-Lipschitz Embeddings Into L1
Eriksson-Bique, Sylvester; Gartland, Chris; Le Donne, Enrico; Naples, Lisa; Nicolussi Golo, Sebastiano (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2023)We prove that if a simply connected nilpotent Lie group quasi-isometrically embeds into an L1 space, then it is abelian. We reach this conclusion by proving that every Carnot group that bi-Lipschitz embeds into L1 is ... -
Yet another proof of the density in energy of Lipschitz functions
Lučić, Danka; Pasqualetto, Enrico (Springer, 2024)We provide a new, short proof of the density in energy of Lipschitz functions into the metric Sobolev space defined by using plans with barycenter (and thus, a fortiori, into the Newtonian–Sobolev space). Our result covers ... -
Nowhere differentiable intrinsic Lipschitz graphs
Julia, Antoine; Nicolussi Golo, Sebastiano; Vittone, Davide (Wiley, 2021)We construct intrinsic Lipschitz graphs in Carnot groups with the property that, at every point, there exist infinitely many different blow-up limits, none of which is a homogeneous subgroup. This provides counterexamples ... -
Universal Infinitesimal Hilbertianity of Sub-Riemannian Manifolds
Le Donne, Enrico; Lučić, Danka; Pasqualetto, Enrico (Springer, 2023)We prove that sub-Riemannian manifolds are infinitesimally Hilbertian (i.e., the associated Sobolev space is Hilbert) when equipped with an arbitrary Radon measure. The result follows from an embedding of metric derivations ...
