Differential forms in Carnot groups: a variational approach

Carnot groups (connected simply connected nilpotent stratified Lie groups) can be endowed with a complex of ``intrinsic'' differential forms. In this paper we want to provide an evidence of the intrinsic character of Rumin's complex, in the spirit of the Riemannian approximation, like...
