Levi's parametrix for some sub-elliptic non-divergence form operators.
Homogeneous Carnot groups related to sets of vector fields
In this paper, we are concerned with the following problem: given a set of smooth vector fields on , we ask whether there exists a homogeneous Carnot group such that is a sub-Laplacian on . We find necessary and sufficient conditions on the given vector fields in order to give a positive answer to the question. Moreover, we explicitly construct the group law i as above, providing direct proofs. Our main tool is a suitable version of the Campbell-Hausdorff formula. Finally, we exhibit several...
Dirichlet problem with L-boundary data in contractible domains of Carnot groups
Let be a sub-laplacian on a stratified Lie group . In this paper we study the Dirichlet problem for with -boundary data, on domains which are contractible with respect to the natural dilations of . One of the main difficulties we face is the presence of non-regular boundary points for the usual Dirichlet problem for . A potential theory approach is followed. The main results are applied to study a suitable notion of Hardy spaces.
A note on lifting of Carnot groups.
We prove that every homogeneous Carnot group can be lifted to a free homogeneous Carnot group. Though following the ideas of Rothschild and Stein, we give simple and self-contained arguments, providing a constructive proof, as shown in the examples.
Subharmonic functions in sub-Riemannian settings
In this paper we furnish mean value characterizations for subharmonic functions related to linear second order partial differential operators with nonnegative characteristic form, possessing a well-behaved fundamental solution . These characterizations are based on suitable average operators on the level sets of . Asymptotic characterizations are also considered, extending classical results of Blaschke, Privaloff, Radó, Beckenbach, Reade and Saks. We analyze as well the notion of subharmonic function...
