In this paper we prove local analytic hypoellipticity for a degenerate sum of squares of complex vector fields generalizing those of Kohn in "Hypoellipticity and Loss of Derivatives". Kohn's article is to appear in the Annals of Mathematics…

We discuss, both for systems of complex vector fields and for sums of squares, the phenomenon discovered by Kohn of hypoellipticity with loss of derivatives.

We simplify and give an alternative proof of hypoellipticity for generalizations of the singular sum of squares of complex vector fields studied by Kohn, with an appendix by Derridj and Tartakoff, in the Annals of Mathematics, vol. 162 no.…

For each value of k, two complex vector fields satisfying the bracket condition are exhibited the sum of whose squares is hypoelliptic but not subelliptic - in fact the operator loses k-1 derivatives in Sobolev norms. In the Appendix it is…

A global real analytic regularity theorem for a quasilinear sum of squares of vector fields of Hormander rank 2 is given. A related local result for a special case was proved recently by the second author and L. Zanghirati in a paper titled…

This note is a comment on a recent paper by J. J. Kohn. We give an example of a second order partial differential operator, expressed as a sum of squares of complex vector fields satisfying the bracket condition, that is not hypoelliptic.

A simple geometric condition is sufficient for analytic hypoellipticity of sums of squares of two vector fields in ${\mathbb R}^2$. This condition is proved to be necessary for generic vector fields and for various special cases, and to be…

We show that all smooth solutions of model non-linear sums of squares of vector fields are locally real analytic. A global result for more general operators is presented in a paper by Makhlouf Derridj and the first author under the title…

The recent example of Hanges: $P = \partial_t^2 + t^2\Delta_x + \partial^2_{\theta(x)}$ in $R^3$ is analytic hypoelliptic in the sense of germs but not in the strong sense in any neighborhood of the origin. And its characteristic variety is…

This paper provides a complete characterization of global hypoellipticity and solvability with loss of derivatives for Fourier multiplier operators on the $n$-dimensional torus. We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for these…

Certain second-order partial differential operators, which are expressed as sums of squares of real-analytic vector fields in $\Bbb R^3$ and which are well known to be $C^\infty$ hypoelliptic, fail to be analytic hypoelliptic.

In an interesting note, E.M. Stein observed some 20 years ago that while the Kohn Laplacian $\square_b$ on functions is neither locally solvable nor (analytic) hypoelliptic, the addition of a non-zero complex constant reversed these…

We obtain global analytic hypoellipticity for a class of differential operators that can be expressed as a zero-order perturbation of a sum of squares of vector fields with real-analytic coefficients on compact Lie groups. The key…

The global analytic hypoellipticity is proved for a class of second order partial differential equations with non-negative characteristic form globally defined on the torus. The class considered in this work generalizes at some degree the…

We prove a couple of results concerning pseudodifferential perturbations of differential operators being sums of squares of vector fields and satisfying H\"ormander's condition. The first is on the minimal Gevrey regularity: if a sum of…

We are concerned with the problem of real analytic regularity of the solutions of sums of squares with real analytic coefficients. Treves conjecture states that an operator of this type is analytic hypoelliptic if and only if all the strata…

The global and semi-global analytic hypoellipticity on the torus is proved for two classes of sums of squares operators, introduced in "Analytic Hypoellipticity for Sums of Squares and the Treves Conjecture" by P. Albano and A. Bove and M.…

To any finite collection of smooth real vector fields $X_j$ in $\reals^n$ we associate a metric in the phase space $T^*\reals^n$. The relation between the asymptotic behavior of this metric and hypoellipticity of $\sum X_j^2$, in the…

We consider an operator $ P $ which is a sum of squares of vector fields with analytic coefficients. The operator has a non-symplectic characteristic manifold, but the rank of the symplectic form $ \sigma $ is not constant on $ \Char P $.…

This paper extends a class of degenerate elliptic operators for which hypoellipticity requires more than a logarithmic gain of derivatives of a solution in every direction. Work of Hoshiro and Morimoto in late 80s characterized a necessity…
