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 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…
Let $L_j = \partial_{t_j} + (a_j+ib_j)(t_j) \partial_x, \, j = 1, \dots, n,$ be a system of vector fields defined on the torus $\mathbb{T}_t^{n}\times\mathbb{T}_x^1$, where the coefficients $a_j$ and $b_j$ are real-valued functions…
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 study the regularity of Gevrey vectors for H\"ormander operators $$ P = \sum_{j=1}^m X_j^2 + X_0 + c$$ where the $X_j$ are real vector fields and $c(x)$ is a smooth function, all in Gevrey class $G^{s}.$ The principal hypothesis is that…
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…
On $T \times G$, where $T$ is a compact real-analytic manifold and $G$ is a compact Lie group, we consider differential operators $P$ which are invariant by left translations on $G$ and are elliptic in $T$. Under a mild technical condition,…
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 present necessary and sufficient conditions to have global hypoellipticity and global solvability for a class of vector fields defined on a product of compact Lie groups. In view of Greenfield's and Wallach's conjecture, about the…
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…
In this work, we present necessary and sufficient conditions for an operator of the type sum of squares to be globally hypoelliptic on a product of compact Riemannian manifolds $T \times G$, where $G$ is also a Lie group. These new…
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…
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…
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 $.…
For a homogeneous polynomial $p$ in $\xi\in {\bf R}^n$ with Gevrey coefficients, it is known that the Cauchy problem for any realization of $p$ is well-posed in the Gevrey class of order $s<2$ if the characteristic roots are real. In this…
We show that the multi--quasi-ellipticity is a necessary and sufficient condition for the property of elliptic iterates to be hold for multi-quasi-homogenous differential operators.
The sharp Gevrey hypoellipticity is provided for the following generalization of the M\'etivier operator, "Non-hypoellipticit\'e analytique pour $D_{x}^{2}+\left( x^{2} + y^{2}\right)D_{y}^{2}$" by G. M\'etivier, \begin{align*}…
We study in this paper the global hypoellipticity property in the Gevrey category for the generalized twisted Laplacian on forms. Different from the 0-form case, where the twisted Laplacian is a scalar operator, this is a system of…
The overall goal of this dissertation is to investigate certain classical results from harmonic analysis, replacing the Euclidean setting, the abelian structure and the elliptic Laplace operator with a non-commutative environment and…
We consider sums of squares operators globally defined on the torus. We show that if some assumptions are satisfied the operators are globally analytic hypoelliptic. The purpose of the assumptions is to rule out the existence of a Hamilton…
