Boundedness of the Riesz Transforms for some Subelliptic Operators
speaker: Nicola Garofalo (Università di Padova)abstract: In this lecture I will describe some recent joint work with Fabrice Baudoin. Let \(\mathbb{M}\) be a smooth connected non-compact manifold endowed with a smooth measure \(\mu\) and a smooth locally subelliptic di usion operator \(L\) satisfying \(L_1 = 0\), and which is symmetric with respect to \(\mu\). We show that if L satis es, with a non negative curvature parameter \(\rho_1\) , a generalization of the curvature-dimension inequality from Riemannian geometry, then the Riesz transform is bounded in \(L^p(\mathbb{M})\) for every \(p>1\), that is \[\Vert\sqrt{\Gamma{((-L)^{-\frac{1}{2}}f)}}\Vert_p \leq C_p \Vert f \Vert_p, \ \ f\in C_0^\infty(\mathbb{M}),\] where \(\Gamma\) is the carré du champ associated to \(L\). Our results apply in particular to all Sasakian manifolds whose horizontal Tanaka-Webster Ricci curvature is nonnegative, all Carnot groups with step two, and wide subclasses of principal bundles over Riemannian manifolds whose Ricci curvature is nonnegative.
