Abstract: In his seminal 1934 paper on Brownian motion and the theory of gases Kolmogorov introduced a second order evolution equation which displays some challenging features. In the opening of his 1967 hypoellipticity paper H"ormander discussed a general class of degenerate Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operators that includes Kolmogorov's as a special case. In this note we combine semigroup theory with a nonlocal calculus for these hypoelliptic operators to establish new inequalities of Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev type in the situation when the drift matrix has nonnegative trace. Our work has been influenced by ideas of E. Stein and Varopoulos in the framework of symmetric semigroups. One of our objectives is to show that such ideas can be pushed to successfully handle the present degenerate non-symmetric setting.


Aim of the authors is to combine semigroup theory and nonlocal calculus for these hypoelliptic operators to prove new inequalities of Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev-type in the case that the drift matrix has nonnegative trace. The study is inspired by the previous study made by Elias Stein and Nicolas Th. Varopoulos in the framework of symmetric semigroups. The authors of the article under review point out that this kind of study can be pushed to successfully handle the present degenerate non-symmetric setting.
