Invertibility of convolution operators on homogeneous groups groups

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We say that a tempered distribution A belongs to the class Sm(Ge) on a homogeneous Lie algebra Ge if its Abelian Fourier transform a=hatA is a smooth function on the dual Ges and satisfies the estimates |D^{alpha}a(xi)|le C_{alpha}(1+|xi|)^{m-|alpha|}. Let AinS0(Ge). Then the operator fmapstofstarwidetildeA(x) is bounded on L2(Ge). Suppose that the operator is invertible and denote by B the convolution kernel of its inverse. We show that B belongs to the class S0(Ge) as well. As a corollary we generalize Melin's theorem on the parametrix construction for Rockland operators.


In a previous paper [Ark. Mat. 45, No. 1, 31-48 (2007; Zbl 1154.43002] the author described a calculus for a class of convolution operators on a nilpotent homogeneous Lie group \(G\). Properties of composition and boundedness were proved there. The paper under review deals with the problem of invertibility of such operators: one proves that if a symbol \(A \in S^{m}(G)\) satisfies some ellipticity condition, then the corresponding convolution operator is invertible and its inverse has a symbol \(B \in S^{-m}(G)\). The symbol class \(S^{m}(G)\) is the class of tempered distributions \(A\) whose Fourier transform \(a\) satisfies on the dual of the Lie algebra of the group \(G\) the estimates \(| D^{\alpha}a(\xi) | \leq C_{\alpha}(1+ | \xi | )^{m- | \alpha |}\), where \(| \alpha |\) is the homogeneous length of the multiindex \(\alpha\). As a corollary, a generalization of Melin's construction of a parametrix for Rockland operators is given.
