Commutator estimates on contact manifolds and applications (Q2418825)

Summary: This article studies sharp norm estimates for the commutator of pseudo-differential operators with multiplication operators on closed Heisenberg manifolds. In particular, we obtain a Calderón commutator estimate: If \(D\) is a first-order operator in the Heisenberg calculus and \(f\) is Lipschitz in the Carnot-Carathéodory metric, then \([D, f]\) extends to an \(L^2\)-bounded operator. Using interpolation, it implies sharpweak-Schatten class properties for the commutator between zeroth order operators and Hölder continuous functions. We present applications to sub-Riemannian spectral triples on Heisenberg manifolds as well as to the regularization of a functional studied by Englis-Guo-Zhang.
