Abstract

We give a formula for the heat kernel of a degenerate elliptic partial differential operator L on ℜ2 related to the Heisenberg group. The formula is derived by means of pseudo-differential operators of the Weyl type, {i.e.}, Weyl transforms, and the Fourier–Wigner transforms of Hermite functions, which form an orthonormal basis for L2(ℜ2). Using the heat kernel, we give a formula for the Green function of L. Applications to the global hypoellipticity of L in the sense of tempered distributions, the ultracontractivity and hypercontractivity of the strongly continuous one-parameter semigroup e−tL, t > 0, are given.
