Regularity of minimizers of the calculus of variations in Carnot groups via hypoellipticity of systems of Hörmander type

Luca Capogna, Nicola Garofalo (2003)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We prove the hypoellipticity for systems of Hörmander type with constant coefficients in Carnot groups of step 2. This result is used to implement blow-up methods and prove partial regularity for local minimizers of non-convex functionals, and for solutions of non-linear systems which appear in the study of non-isotropic metric structures with scalings. We also establish estimates of the Hausdorff dimension of the singular set.

Remarks on Gårding inequalities for differential operators

Xavier Saint Raymond (2002)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

Classical Gårding inequalities such as those of Hörmander, Hörmander-Melin or Fefferman-Phong are proved by pseudo-differential methods which do not allow to keep a good control on the supports of the functions under study nor on the smoothness of the coefficients of the operator. In this paper, we show by very simple calculations that in certain special situations, the results that can be obtained directly are much better than those expected thanks to the general theory.

Riesz means for the eigenfunction expansions for a class of hypo-elliptic differential operators

Giancarlo Mauceri (1981)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We study the Riesz means for the eigenfunction expansions of a class of hypoelliptic differential operators on the Heisenberg group. The operators we consider are homogeneous with respect to dilations and invariant under the action of the unitary group. We obtain convergence results in L p norm, at Lebesgue points and almost everywhere. We also prove localization results.
