Abstract

Hypoellipticity for a class of germs of ℂ-valued, real-analytic 1-forms with an isolated singularity is studied. The main result states that in dimension ≥3 such forms are real-analytic hypoelliptic over L p functions, but are not real-analytic hypoelliptic in dimension 2. The case of C -hypoellipticity for a class of rotation invariant forms in ℝ2 is also considered.
