In the paper under review the authors introduce the notion of horizontal mean curvature on a smooth hypersurface in a Carnot group, and develop a sub-Riemannian calculus in such a setting. The main result says that, in this calculus, a smooth surface is minimal if it is a stationary point of the horizontal perimeter functional. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1058.00010].
