Metric properties of the distance in the Carnot groups: curvatures and metric curvatures, geodesics and application to the travel salesman problems in the Heisenberg group. Free boundary problems: regularity of the free boundaries in two-phase problems for elliptic, subelliptic, parabolic and fractional operators, regularity improvement of the free boundary for linear and nonlinear operators with variable coefficients, existence of monotonicity formulas for operators in nondivergence form (elliptic, parabolic and subelliptic), regularity of level surface in semilinear problems, existence of solutions  of two phase problems. Relative isoperimetric inequalities for curvature measures: integral formulas for curvature functions. Poincaré inequalities and Sobolev Poincaré: solution of semilinear equations and Poincaré inequalities. Regularity of solutions for elliptic and subelliptic operators: existence of results like Aleksandov-Bakelman-Pucci maximum principle.
