A class of nonlocal hypoelliptic operators and their extensions

Abstract: In this paper we study nonlocal equations driven by the fractional powers of hypoelliptic operators in the form

mathscr K u = mathscr A u - partial_t u overset{def}{=} operatorname{tr}(Q

abla^2 u) + <BX,

abla u> - partial_t u,

introduced by H"ormander in his 1967 hypoellipticity paper. We show that the nonlocal operators

(- m a t h s c r K)^{s}

and

(- m a t h s c r A)^{s}

can be realized as the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map of doubly-degenerate extension problems. We solve such problems in

L^{i} n f t y

, and in

L^{p}

for

1 l e q p < i n f t y

when

o p e r a t o r n a m e t r (B) g e q 0

. In forthcoming works we use such calculus to establish some new Sobolev and isoperimetric inequalities.
