Analysis of second order differential operators on Heisenberg groups. I

  • Published:
Inventiones mathematicae Aims and scope

Summary

Given a matrixS∋sp (n, ℝ), one finds a second-order, bi-invariant differential operator □ s on the one-dimensional extensionG s of the Heisenberg groupH n induced byS. We construct solutions to certain Cauchy problems for □ s and fundamental solutions for these operators. This analysis is connected with the discussion of the “oscillator semigroup” by R. Howe.
