Isometries of Carnot groups and sub-Finsler homogeneous manifolds (Q254269)

The paper deals with a fundamental problem in geometry which consists of the study of spaces that are isometrically homogeneous, i.e., metric spaces on which the group of isometries acts transitively. The authors prove that isometries between open sets of Carnot groups are affine and each isometry of a sub-Riemannian manifold is determined by the horizontally differential at one point. Also, they extend the result to sub-Finslerian homogeneous manifolds and study the regularity of isometries of homogeneous manifolds equipped with homogeneous distances that induce the topology of manifold.
