Abstract

We use a metaplectic operator to prove that the hierarchical twisted Laplacian L m is unitarily equivalent to the tensor product of the one-dimensional Hermite operator and the identity operator on L 2(ℝm+11), and we use this unitary equivalence to show that L m is globally hypoelliptic in the Schwartz space and in the Gelfand–Shilov spaces.
