A note on the weak regularity theory for degenerate Kolmogorov equations (Q2109373)

The aim of this work is to prove a Harnack inequality and the Hölder continuity for weak solutions to the Kolmogorov equation \(\mathcal{L} u = f\) with measurable coefficients, integrable lower order terms and nonzero source term. It is introduced a functional space \(\mathcal{W}\), suitable for the study of weak solutions to the Kolmogorov equation. The authors prove a weak Harnack inequality anda weak Poincaré inequality by using \(L^2-L^\infty\) estimates and a classical covering argument known as Ink-Spots Theorem.
