Popis: The aim of this thesis is to propose a systematic exposition of some analytic and geometric problems arising from the study of sub-Riemannian geometry, Carnot-Carathéodory spaces and, more broadly, anisotropic metric and differential structures. We deal with four main topics. 1 Calculus of variations for local functionals depending on vector fields 2 PDEs over Carnot-Carathéodory structures. 3 Regularity theory for almost perimeter minimizers in Carnot groups. 4 Geometry of hypersurfaces in Heisenberg groups.
