Hessian measures on the Heisenberg group (Q387240)

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 \(n>2\).
