Abstract
Abstract We give a complete analytic and geometric description of the horofunction boundary for polygonal sub-Finsler metrics, that is, those that arise as asymptotic cones of word metrics, on the Heisenberg group. We develop theory for the more general case of horofunction boundaries in homogeneous groups by connecting horofunctions to Pansu derivatives of the distance function.
期刊介绍:
Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces is an open access electronic journal that publishes cutting-edge research on analytical and geometrical problems in metric spaces and applications. We strive to present a forum where all aspects of these problems can be discussed.

Geometric inequalities in metric spaces,
Geometric measure theory and variational problems in metric spaces,
Analytic and geometric problems in metric measure spaces, probability spaces, and manifolds with density,
Analytic and geometric problems in sub-riemannian manifolds, Carnot groups, and pseudo-hermitian manifolds.
Geometric control theory,
Curvature in metric and length spaces,
Geometric group theory,
Harmonic Analysis. Potential theory,
Mass transportation problems,
Quasiconformal and quasiregular mappings. Quasiconformal geometry,
PDEs associated to analytic and geometric problems in metric spaces.
