Abstract: For about twenty five years it was a kind of folk theorem that complex vector-fields defined on $Omegaimesmathbb{R}_t$ (with $Omega$ open set in $mathbb{R}^n$) by ${\displaystyle }$ L_j = frac{partial}{partial t_j} + i frac {partial phi}{partial t_j}( ) frac{partial}{partial x}, j=1,..., n, in Omega, xin mathbb R ,${\displaystyle }$ with $phi$ analytic, were subelliptic as soon as they were hypoelliptic. This was the case when $n=1$ but in the case $n>1$, an inaccurate reading of the proof given by Maire (see also Tr`eves) of the hypoellipticity of such systems, under the condition that $phi$ does not admit any local maximum or minimum (through a non standard subelliptic estimate), was supporting the belief for this folk theorem. Quite recently, J.L. Journ'e and J.M.Tr'epreau show by examples that there are very simple systems (with polynomial $phi$'s) which were hypoelliptic but not subelliptic in the standard $L^2$-sense. So it is natural to analyze this problem of subellipticity which is in some sense intermediate (at least when $phi$ is $C^{i}nfty$) between the maximal hypoellipticity (which was analyzed by Helffer-Nourrigat and Nourrigat) and the simple local hypoellipticity (or local microhypoellipticity) and to start first with the easiest non trivial examples. The analysis presented here is a continuation of a previous work by the first author and is devoted to the case of quasihomogeneous functions.
