We consider degenerate KFP operators Lu=i,j=1∑m0aij(x,t)∂xixj2u+k,j=1∑Nbjkxk∂xju−∂tu≡i,j=1∑m0aij(x,t)∂xixj2u+Yu ((x,t)∈RN+1, 1≤m0≤N) s.t. the model operator having constant aij is hypoelliptic, translation invariant w.r.t. a Lie group in RN+1 and 2-homogeneous w.r.t. a family of dilations; (aij)i,j=1m0 is symmetric and uniformly positive on Rm0; aij are bounded and Dini continuous in space, bounded measurable in time, i.e.: setting ST=RN×(−∞,T),ωf,ST(r)=(x,t),(y,t)∈ST∥x−y∥≤rsup∣f(x,t)−f(y,t)∣ \Vert f\Vert_{\mathcal{D}(S_{T})}=\int_{0}^{1}\frac{\omega_{f,S_{T}}(r)}% {r}dr+\Vert f\Vert_{L^{\infty}\left( S_{T}\right) } we ask ∥aij∥D(ST)<∞. We bound ωuxixj,ST, uxixjL∞(ST) (i,j=1,2,...,m0), ωYu,ST, ∥Yu∥L∞(ST) in terms of ωLu,ST, ∥Lu∥L∞(ST) and ∥u∥L∞(ST), getting a control on the uniform continuity in space of uxixj,Yu if Lu is bounded and Dini-continuous in space. Under the additional assumption that aij and Lu are log-Dini continuous, meaning the finiteness of the quantity% ∫01rωf,ST(r)∣logr∣dr, we prove that uxixj and Yu are Dini continuous; moreover, in this case, the derivatives uxixj are locally uniformly continuous in space and time.
