Abstract

Given a real-valued function defined on the Heisenberg group H, we provide a definition of abstract convexity and Fenchel transform in H, that takes into account the sub-Riemannian structure of the group. In our main result, we prove that, likewise the classical case, a convex function can be characterized via its iterated Fenchel transform; the properties of the H-subdifferential play a crucial role.
