Powers of the Sub - Laplacian

چکیده
CR invariant differential operators on densities with leading part a power of the sub-Laplacian are derived. One family of such operators is constructed from the " conformally invariant powers of the Laplacian " via the Fefferman metric; the powers which arise for these operators are bounded in terms of the dimension. A second family is derived from a CR tractor calculus which is developed here; this family includes operators for every positive power of the sub-Laplacian. This result together with work of ˘ Cap, Slovák and Sou˘ cek imply in three dimensions the existence of a curved analogue of each such operator in flat space.

متن کاملEstimates for Powers of Sub-laplacian on the Non-isotropic Heisenberg Group
Assume that Lα = − 12 ∑n j=1(ZjZ̄j + Z̄jZj) + iαT is the sub-Laplacian on the nonisotropic Heisenberg group Hn; Zj , Z̄j for j = 1, 2, · · · , n and T are the basis of the Lie algebra hn. We apply the Laguerre calculus to obtain the explicit kernel for the fundamental solution of the powers of Lα and the heat kernel exp{−sLα}. Estimates for this kernel in various function spaces can be deduced eas...
متن کاملAn Extension Problem for the Cr Fractional Laplacian
We show that the conformally invariant fractional powers of the sub-Laplacian on the Heisenberg group are given in terms of the scattering operator for an extension problem to the Siegel upper halfspace. Remarkably, this extension problem is different from the one studied, among others, by Caffarelli and Silvestre.

In this paper, we study a class of boundary value problem involving the p-Laplacian oprator and singular nonlinearities. We analyze the existence a critical parameter $lambda^{ast}$ such that the problem has least one solution for $lambdain(0,lambda^{ast})$ and no solution for $lambda>lambda^{ast}.$ We find lower bounds of critical parameter $lambda^{ast}$. We use the method ...
