Boundary regularity for subelliptic equations in the Heisenberg group

Abstract

We prove boundary H\"older and Lipschitz regularity for a class of degenerate elliptic, second order, inhomogeneous equations in non-divergence form structured on the left-invariant vector fields of the Heisenberg group. Our focus is on the case of operators with bounded and measurable coefficients and bounded right-hand side; when necessary, we impose a dimensional restriction on the ellipticity ratio and a growth rate for the source term near characteristic points of the boundary. For solutions in the characteristic half-space {t>0}\{t>0\}, we obtain an intrinsic second order expansion near the origin when the source term belongs to an appropriate weighted LL^{\infty} space; this is a new result even for the frequently studied sub-Laplacian.
