Geometric Foundations and Nonsmooth Extensions for Harnack Inequalities on Carnot Groups
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: This paper supplies the geometric and approximation results needed to extend the smooth Harnack inequalities proved in the companion paper \cite{GutierrezMohammedSmooth} to weak solutions of divergence-form subelliptic equations on Carnot groups. We collect horizontal perimeter, Gauss--Green, coarea, and regular-level-set tools, then approximate measurable coefficients and continuous monotone nonlinearities while preserving the structural bounds and pass the Harnack estimates to the weak limit.
