Abstract

Let g\mathfrak{g} be a nilpotent Lie algebra which is also regarded as a homogeneous Lie group with the Campbell-Hausdorff multiplication. This allows to define a generalized multiplication f#g=(fg)f \# g = (f^{\vee} * g^{\vee})^{\wedge} of two functions in the Schwartz class S(g)\mathcal{S}(\mathfrak{g}^{*}), where \vee and \wedge are the Abelian Fourier transforms on the Lie algebra g\mathfrak{g} and on the dual g\mathfrak{g}^{*}. In the operator analysis on nilpotent Lie groups an important notion is the one of symbolic calculus which can be viewed as a higher order generalization of the Weyl calculus for pseudodifferential operators of H\"ormander. The idea of such a calculus consists in describing the product f#gf \# g for some classes of symbols. We find a formula for Dα(f#g)D^{\alpha}(f \# g) for Schwartz functions f,gf,g in the case of two-step nilpotent Lie groups, that includes the Heisenberg group. We extend this formula to the class of functions f,gf,g such that f,gf^{\vee}, g^{\vee} are certain distributions acting by convolution on the Lie group, that includes usual classes of symbols. In the case of the Abelian group RdR^{d} we have f#g=fgf \# g = fg, so Dα(f#g)D^{\alpha}(f \# g) is given by the Leibniz rule.
