Abstract:

We construct an intrinsic regular surface in the first Heisenberg group $\mathbb H^1=\mathbb R^3$ equipped wiht its Carnot- Carathéodory metric which has Euclidean Hausdorff dimension $2.5$. Moreover we prove that each intrinsic regular surface in this setting is a $2$- dimensional topological manifold admitting a $\frac{1}{2}$- Hölder continuous parametrization.

Keywords: Carnot groups, intrinsic regular surfaces and classical rectifiability, parametrization of surfaces, Hölder continuos functions
