Let{X1,X2,…,Xm}be the basis of space of horizontal vector fields in a Carnot groupG=(Rn;∘) (m<n). We prove high order Fefferman-Phong type inequalities inG. As applications, we derive a prioriLp(G)estimates for the nondivergence degenerate elliptic operatorsL=-∑i,j=1maij(x)XiXj+V(x)withVMOcoefficients and a potentialVbelonging to an appropriate Stummel type class introduced in this paper. Some of our results are also new even for the usual Euclidean space.

Mathematical Foundations

This book provides the mathematical foundations for the analysis of a class of degenerate elliptic operators defined on manifolds with corners, which arise in a variety of applications such as population genetics, mathematical finance, and economics. The results discussed in this book prove the uniqueness of the solution to the martingale problem and therefore the existence of the associated Markov process. The book uses an “integral kernel method” to develop mathematical foundations for the study of such degenerate elliptic operators and the stochastic processes they define. The precise nature of the degeneracies of the principal symbol for these operators leads to solutions of the parabolic and elliptic problems that display novel regularity properties. Dually, the adjoint operator allows for rather dramatic singularities, such as measures supported on high codimensional strata of the boundary. The book establishes the uniqueness, existence, and sharp regularity properties for solutions to the homogeneous and inhomogeneous heat equations, as well as a complete analysis of the resolvent operator acting on Hölder spaces. It shows that the semigroups defined by these operators have holomorphic extensions to the right half plane. The book also demonstrates precise asymptotic results for the long-time behavior of solutions to both the forward and backward Kolmogorov equations.

AbstractLet G be a free Carnot group (i.e. a connected simply connected nilpotent stratified free Lie group) of step 2. In this paper, we prove that the variational functional generated by “intrinsic” Maxwell’s equations in G is the Γ-limit of a sequence of classical (i.e. Euclidean) variational functionals associated with strongly anisotropic dielectric permittivity and magnetic permeability in the Euclidean space.
