We generalize both the notion of polynomial functions on Lie groups and the notion of horizontally affine maps on Carnot groups. We fix a subset S of the algebra g of left-invariant vector fields on a Lie group G and we assume that S Lie generates g. We say that a function f:G→R (or more generally a distribution on G) is S-polynomial if for all X∈S there exists k∈N such that the iterated derivative Xkf is zero in the sense of distributions. First, we show that all S-polynomial functions (as well as distributions) are represented by analytic functions and, if the exponent k in the previous definition is independent on X∈S, they form a finite-dimensional vector space. Second, if G is connected and nilpotent, we show that S-polynomial functions are polynomial functions in the sense of Leibman. The same result may not be true for non-nilpotent groups. Finally, we show that in connected nilpotent Lie groups, being polynomial in the sense of Leibman, being a polynomial in exponential chart, and the vanishing of mixed derivatives of some fixed degree along directions of g are equivalent notions.

A Cornucopia of Carnot Groups in Low Dimensions
Le Donne, Enrico; Tripaldi, Francesca (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2022)Stratified groups are those simply connected Lie groups whose Lie algebras admit a derivation for which the eigenspace with eigenvalue 1 is Lie generating. When a stratified group is equipped with a left-invariant path ... -

Horizontally Affine Functions on Step-2 Carnot Algebras
Le Donne, Enrico; Morbidelli, Daniele; Rigot, Séverine (Springer, 2023)In this paper, we introduce the notion of horizontally affine, h-affine in short, function and give a complete description of such functions on step-2 Carnot algebras. We show that the vector space of h-affine functions ... -
