Abstract

The main new results in this paper are contained in the geometric Theorems 1 and 2 of Section 0.1 below and they are related to previous results of M. Gromov and of myself (cf. [11], [29]). These results are used to prove some general potential theoretic estimates on Lie groups (cf. Section 0.3) that are related to my previous work in the area (cf. [28], [34]) and to some deep recent work of G. Alexopoulos (cf. [3], [4]).
