Hessian measures on the Heisenberg group (Q387240): Difference between revisions

In the context of the Heisenberg group, several notions of convexity have been presented by various researchers. Several authors, simultaneously, presented the notion of convexity, e.g. \textit{N. S. Trudinger} and \textit{X.-J.Wang} [Topol. Methods Nonlinear Anal. 10, No. 2, 225--239 (1997; Zbl 0915.35039)]. In the present paper, the authors study the properties of \(k\)-convex functions on the Heisenberg group and prove the weak continuity of the \(k\)-Hessian measure in the Euclidean space corresponding to the case that appears in [loc. cit.]. Resolving the Garofalo-Tournier conjecture, the monotonicity formula is proved in Section 3 for cases \(n>2\).
