In this note we present a notion of harmonic oscillator on the Heisenberg group $\mathbf{H}_n$ which forms the natural analogue of the harmonic oscillator on $\mathbb{R}^n$ under a few reasonable assumptions: the harmonic oscillator on…

We establish two results concerning the Quantum Limits (QLs) of some sub-Laplacians. First, under a commutativity assumption on the vector fields involved in the definition of the sub- Laplacian, we prove that it is possible to split any QL…

In this work we investigate the well-posedness for difussion equations associated to subelliptic pseudo-differential operators on compact Lie groups. The diffusion by strongly elliptic operators is considered as a special case and in…

We propose an operator preconditioner for general elliptic pseudodifferential equations in a domain $\Omega$, where $\Omega$ is either in $\mathbb{R}^n$ or in a Riemannian manifold. For linear systems of equations arising from low-order…

Given a symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$ endowed with a proper Hamiltonian action of a Lie group $G$, we consider the action induced by a Lie subgroup $H$ of $G$. We propose a construction for two compatible Witt-Artin decompositions of the…

To every Hermitian vector bundle with connection over a compact Riemannian manifold $M$ one can associate a corresponding connection Laplacian acting on the sections of the bundle. We define analogous combinatorial metric dependent…

We introduce the logarithmic analogue of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on Ahlfors regular metric-measure spaces. This operator is intrinsically defined with spectral properties analogous to those of elliptic pseudo-differential operators on…

For a fat sub-Riemannian structure, we introduce three canonical Ricci curvatures in the sense of Agrachev-Zelenko-Li. Under appropriate bounds we prove comparison theorems for conjugate lengths, Bonnet-Myers type results and Laplacian…

In this paper, we define and study Gevrey spaces associated with a H\"ormander family of (globally defined) vector fields and its corresponding sub-Laplacian. We show some natural relations between the various Gevrey spaces in this setting…

Let $G$ be a unimodular Lie group, $X$ a compact manifold with boundary, and $M$ be the total space of a principal bundle $G\to M\to X$ so that $M$ is also a complex manifold satisfying a local subelliptic estimate. In this work, we show…

Sub-Riemannian cubics are a generalisation of Riemannian cubics to a sub-Riemannian manifold. Cubics are curves which minimise the integral of the norm squared of the covariant acceleration. Sub-Riemannian cubics are cubics which are…
