Abstract:

We prove a coarea inequality for Lipschitz maps between stratified groups. As a consequence we obtain a Sard-type theorem and the nonexistence of nontrivial coarea formulae between Heisenberg groups. In the case of real valued Lipschitz maps on the Heisenberg group we get a coarea formula using the $Q-1$ spherical Hausdorff measure restricted to level sets, where $Q$ is the homogeneous dimension of the group.

Keywords: stratified groups, coarea formula, perimeter measure
