Hypoelliptic heat kernel inequalities on the Heisenberg group

Abstract: We study the existence of "L p -type" gradient estimates for the heat kernel of the natural hypoelliptic "Laplacian" on the real three-dimensional Heisenberg Lie group. Using Malliavin calculus methods, we verify that these estimates hold in the case p > 1. The gradient estimate for p = 2 implies a corresponding Poincaré inequality for the heat kernel. The gradient estimate for p = 1 is still open; if proved, this estimate would imply a logarithmic Sobolev inequality for the heat kernel.

“…[16]) or certain smoothing properties of the semigroup (see e.g. [5], [17], [36], [6], [27] and references therein). Even in the case of diffusion operators in finite dimensions it is a hard problem for which a relatively satisfactory solution currently only exists in case of (products of) Heisenberg type groups; for q = 1 2 the other groups constitute a formidable challenge.…”
