Given a smooth family of vector fields satisfying Chow-Hörmander’s condition of step 2 and a regularity assumption, we prove that the Sobolev spaces of fractional order constructed by the standard functional analysis can actually be “computed” with a simple formula involving the sub-riemannian distance.Our approach relies on a microlocal analysis of translation operators in an anisotropic context. It also involves classical estimates of the heat-kernel associated to the sub-elliptic Laplacian.

L'objet de ce travail est l'étude de la continuité des opérateurs d'intégrales singulières (au sens de Calderón-Zygmund) sur les espaces de Sobolev Hs. Il complète le travail fondamental de David-Journé [6], concernant le cas s = 0, et ceux de P. G. Lemarié [10] et M. Meyer [11] concernant le cas 0 < s < 1.

We study the continuity of pseudo-differential operators on Bessel potential spaces Hs|p (Rn ), and on the corresponding Besov spaces B^(s,q)p (R ^n). The modulus of continuity ω we use is assumed to satisfy j≥0, ∑ [ω(2−j )Ω(2j )]2 < ∞ where Ω is a suitable positive function.

For a principal type pseudodifferential operator, we prove that condition $\left(\psi \right)$ implies local solvability with a loss of 3/2 derivatives. We use many elements of Dencker’s paper on the proof of the Nirenberg-Treves conjecture and we provide some improvements of the key energy estimates which allows us to cut the loss of derivatives from $ϵ+3/2$ for any $ϵ\&gt;0$ (Dencker’s most recent result) to 3/2 (the present paper). It is already known that condition $\left(\psi \right)$ doesnotimply local solvability with a loss of 1 derivative,...

Let $-(n+1)<m\le -(n+1)(1-\rho )$ and let $T_a\in {ℒ}_{\rho ,\delta }^m$ be pseudo-differential operators with symbols $a(x,\xi )\in {ℝ}^n\times {ℝ}^n$, where $0<\rho \le 1$, $0\le \delta <1$ and $\delta \le \rho$. Let $\mu$, $\lambda$ be weights in Muckenhoupt classes $A_p$, $\nu ={\left(\mu {\lambda }^{-1}\right)}^{1/p}$ for some $1<p<\infty$. We establish a two-weight inequality for commutators generated by pseudo-differential operators $T_a$ with weighted BMO functions $b\in {\mathrm{BMO}}_{\nu }$, namely, the commutator $[b,T_a]$ is bounded from $L^p\left(\mu \right)$ into $L^p\left(\lambda \right)$. Furthermore, the range of $m$ can be extended to the whole $m\le -(n+1)(1-\rho )$.

In this work we continue the study of the Weyl asymptotics of the distribution of eigenvalues of non-self-adjoint (pseudo)differential operators with small random perturbations, by treating the case of multiplicative perturbations in arbitrary dimension. We were led to quite essential improvements of many of the probabilistic aspects.

For a class of non-selfadjoint $h$–pseudodifferential operators with double characteristics, we give a precise description of the spectrum and establish accurate semiclassical resolvent estimates in a neighborhood of the origin. Specifically, assuming that the quadratic approximations of the principal symbol of the operator along the double characteristics enjoy a partial ellipticity property along a suitable subspace of the phase space, namely their singular space, we give a precise description of...

We study a system of pseudodifferential equations which is elliptic in the Petrovskii sense on a closed smooth manifold. We prove that the operator generated by the system is a Fredholm operator in a refined two-sided scale of Hilbert function spaces. Elements of this scale are special isotropic spaces of Hörmander-Volevich-Paneah.

Nous donnons des résultats analytiques sur les propriétés de régularité du laplacien hypoelliptique de Jean-Michel Bismut et plus généralement sur les opérateurs $P$ de type Fokker-Planck géométrique agissant sur le fibré cotangent $\Sigma =T^{*}X$ d’une variété riemannienne compacte $X$. En particulier, nous prouvons un résultat d’hypoellipticité maximale pour $P$, et nous en déduisons des bornes sur la localisation de ses valeurs spectrales.
