Mahler type theorem and non-collapsed limits of sub-Riemannian compact Heisenberg manifolds

Abstract

In this paper, we study a non-collapsed Gromov--Hausdorff limit of a sequence of compact Heisenberg manifolds with sub-Riemannian metrics. In the case of strictly sub-Riemannian case, we show that if a sequence has an upper bound of the diameter and a lower bound of Popp's measure, then it has a convergent subsequence in the Gromov--Hausdorff topology, and the limit is isometric to a compact Heisenberg manifold of the same dimension. The same conclusion is also shown for Riemannian case with the additional assumption on Ricci curvature lower bounds.
