HYPOELLIPTIC DIFFERENTIAL OPERATORS AND NILPOTENT GROUPS

HYPOELLIPTIC DIFFERENTIAL OPERATORS AND NILPOTENT GROUPS

20 Janvier 1977 | LINDA PREISS ROTHSCCHILD and E. M. STEIN
This paper discusses hypoelliptic differential operators and nilpotent groups. The authors develop a class of singular integral operators modeled on convolution operators on nilpotent Lie groups to study hypoellipticity. They show that under certain conditions, these operators are hypoelliptic, meaning they map smooth functions to smooth functions. The paper also explores the extension of these operators to free groups and their approximation by left-invariant vector fields. The authors consider various types of differential operators, including those of Hörmander type, and provide estimates for the $\Box_b$ Laplacian. They also discuss the properties of homogeneous distributions and their convolution with differential operators. The paper concludes with applications of these results to the study of hypoelliptic operators and their regularity properties. The authors emphasize the importance of understanding the structure of nilpotent Lie groups and their associated differential operators in the analysis of hypoellipticity.This paper discusses hypoelliptic differential operators and nilpotent groups.
