Steiner Formula and Gaussian Curvature in the Heisenberg Group

The classical Steiner formula expresses the volume of the ∈-neighborhood Ω∈ of a bounded and regular domain  Ω⊂Rn as a polynomial of degree n in ∈. In particular, the coefficients of this polynomial are the integrals of functions of the curvatures of the boundary ∂Ω. The aim of this note is to prese...
