Schatten and Sobolev Estimates for Green Operators on Compact Heisenberg Manifolds

Abstract: Let

M = G a m m a s e t m i n u s m a t h b b H_{d}

be a compact quotient of the

d

-dimensional Heisenberg group

m a t h b b H_{d}

by a lattice subgroup

G a m m a

. We give Schatten and Sobolev estimates for the Green operator

m a t h c a l G_{a} l p h a

associated to a fixed element of a family of second order differential operators

l e f t m a t h c a l L_{a} l p h a i g h t

on

M

. In particular, it follows that the Kohn Laplacian on functions on

M

is subelliptic. Our main tool is Folland's description of the spectrum of

m a t h c a l L_{a} l p h a

.
