    0 references
    The author proves a sub-Riemannian maximum principle for semicontinuous functions and apply this principle to Carnot groups to provide a sub-Riemannian proof of the uniqueness of viscosity infinite harmonic functions. He also proves the equivalence of weak solutions and viscosity to the \(p\)-Laplace equation. We have to remark that this result extends the author's previous work in the Heisenberg group [Commun. Partial Differ. Equations 27, No. 3--4, 727--761 (2002; Zbl 1090.35063); Ann. Acad. Sci. Fenn., Math. 31, No. 2, 363--379 (2006; Zbl 1101.43003)].
