Abstract:
Let $k$ be a positive integer and let $m$ be the dimension of the horizontal subspace of a stratified group. Under the condition that $k$ is less than or equal to $m$, we show that all submanifolds of codimension $k$ are ``generically'' non-horizontal. For these submanifolds we prove an area-type formula that allows us to compute their $Q-k$ dimensional spherical Hausdorff measure. Finally, we observe that a.e. level set of a sufficiently regular vector-valued mapping on a stratified group is a non-horizontal submanifold. This allows us to establish a sub-Riemannian coarea formula for vector-valued Riemannian Lipschitz mappings on stratified groups.
Keywords: stratified groups, Hausdorff dimension and Hausdorff measure, transverse submanifolds, area formula and coarea formula
