SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS:

My research activity primarily deals with the study of differential operators of the second-order with nonnegative characteristic form, not elliptic, falling in the hypoellipticity class introduced by Hörmander. Among these operators, particularly relevant are the sub-Laplacians L on Carnot groups G, which locally approximate every Hörmander operator. Starting from the vector fields generating the Lie algebra of a stratified group G, one can shape more general differential operators, for instance, with low regularity on the coefficients or of a non-variational type: these are also a subject of my research.

The main motivation of my studies derives from the attention paid (over the past three decades) to subelliptic PDOs on stratified groups: the interest in these algebraic structures in the PDE context is both theoretical and in the applications. Indeed, linear and non-linear partial differential equations, in variational or non-variational form appear in various contexts: the geometric theory of the functions with several complex variables; complex mathematical modeling of crystalline materials; curvature problems for Cauchy-Riemann manifolds; control theory; sub-Riemannian geometry; diffusion processes; mathematical modeling of human or computer vision; Mathematical Finance, etc.

Among the algebraic-geometric structures often associated with these equations, one encounters with the stratified groups (also referred to as Carnot groups), a sub-class of the nilpotent Lie groups, whose associated Lie algebra admits a stratification, i.e., a decomposition in layers the form g+[g;g]+[[g;g];g]+.... This decomposition enriches these groups in a remarkable way, making them relatively simple to be studied with elementary and direct methods. Naturally associated with the Carnot groups are their sub-Laplacians, differential operators of the second-order which are sums of squares of vector fields generating the first layer g. The usual additive group on R^N and the classic Laplace operator Δ are certainly the simplest examples of (Abelian) stratified group and of sub-Laplacian (strictly elliptic);
the well-known Heisenberg group H^n and the associated Kohn-Laplacian Δ_H are, instead, the first nontrivial example of a (non-commutative) stratified group, and of a degenerate-elliptic sub-Laplacian. It is immediately evident from the Heisenberg-group example that, although the sub-Laplacians share many properties with elliptic operators, one cannot expect all the classical results to apply in the non-Euclidean setting as well, let alone can the methods be the same as in the non-degenerate elliptic case.

My scientific work is divided into the following topics, closely related to each other:

- The study of the structure of the Carnot groups and their sub-Laplacians L.
- The study of the heat operator H = L-partial_t on Carnot groups and of some non-divergence operators modeled on L and H on more general structures than the Carnot groups.
- The Potential Theory for L and for operators in divergence or non-divergence form on Lie groups whatsoever (not necessarily Carnot).
- Applications of the celebrated Campbell-Baker-Hausdorff-Dynkin Theorem (CBHD, in the sequel) to the theory of Lie groups, of ODEs and PDEs.

In the following, we provide a very brief description of these research topics.

(1) Throughout my scientific activity, I have studied the structure of Carnot groups and the analytic properties of the associated sub-Laplacians. For example, in the papers [8, 9, 10, 12, 20, 27, 28, 29, 30, 34], together with specific problems of analysis, it is supplied part the algebraic-geometric background needed for the close study of stratified groups, always following a direct analytical approach. In particular, we compare the classical definition of Carnot group to a more operative definition of homogeneous Carnot group, extremely useful in the analytical context. Some topics that we deepened, of interest for mathematical analysis, are therefore geometrical: for example, we investigated the free and nilpotent algebras, the process of lifting of stratified groups to free groups, the equivalence of sub-Laplacians modulo diffeormorphisms, the so-called formula of Campbell-Baker-Hausdorff-Dynkin, the construction of Carnot groups by means of vector fields on R^N, the H-type algebras and groups, Taylor's formula for homogeneous groups, the notion of convexity etc. One of the classes of Carnot groups that I studied more closely is that of the H-type groups: having characterized such groups in sufficient explicitness, we studied a non-existence result for a semi-linear problem with critical exponent on all the half-spaces (characteristic and not) of the H-type groups (see [7, 8]). This result improves recent investigations in this setting.
Besides, I studied more general structures than the Carnot groups: the homogeneous groups [21], and groups (not necessarily nilpotent) which one can construct on RN starting from certain Hörmander vector fields (see [24, 25, 26, 29]). In the first setting, I proved the analogue of Taylor's formula (with applications to Schauder estimates and to problems of real analyticity); within the second structures, we proved the existence and the good properties of the fundamental solution, including a property of left-translation invariance; also, we provided necessary and sufficient conditions for a set of Hörmander vector fields to be left-invariant on some Lie group.

(2) The quoted algebraic and geometric background needed for the study of the stratified groups and their sub-Laplacians is widely and thoroughly treated in the monograph [20], whose goal is precisely to providing detailed analytical and geometrical features of sub-Laplacians on stratified groups, together with the Potential Theory associated with them. More recently, I have been able to deepen the algebraic study of these groups, starting from one of the most important and significant results on Lie groups: the formula that brings the names of Baker, Campbell, Dynkin and Hausdorff. The study of this formula (with complete demonstrations) is approached with algebraic methods (associated with certain tensor algebras of formal series), with analysis techniques (of certain ordinary differential equations), and of differential geometry (of Lie groups). A unitary and self-contained treatise with all these different approaches appears in the monograph [27]; some side observations of purely algebraic nature are collected in [28] and a proof of a formula of Campbell-Hausdorff type relative to a context of ordinary differential equations is studied in [26] (and improved in [39]).

We explicitly remark that there still are open issues on the formula of Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff-Dynkin, i.e., its q-analog, appearing in the theory of quantum mechanics. We obtained (joint work with Jacob Katriel) some definitive results in this setting in [40].

(3) A significant part of my research is devoted to the Potential Theory for sub-Laplacians L on stratified groups. Starting from the good properties of the fundamental solution Γ of L, it is possible to reconstruct much of the classical theory such as: Harnack-Liouville theorems; characterizations of subharmonicity for L; average formulas for L and representation theorems; formulas of Poisson&Jensen type; capacity and energy for L; the formula of Pizzetti on Heisenberg groups and H-type groups. See the works [1, 2, 3, 5, 13, 15, 17, 22]. As significant applications of Potential Theory, we obtained: maximum principles on unbounded domains [3]; finne regularity properties [15]; the study of the Dirichlet problem associated with L with L^p data and the Hardy spaces associated with them [17]. Another application is given for the study of the Eikonal equation and theorems of Bôcher-type for singularity removal [19].
Very recently, I have dealt with Potential Theory for operators in divergence-form, but not necessarily under the form of sums of squares of Hörmander vector fields, nor necessarily left-invariant on Lie groups.

It is shown that in the presence of a positive fundamental solution (and vanishing at infinity) one can give a complete theory of subharmonic functions and their associated mean-value operators [33, 35, 37]. Some of the characterizations of subharmonicity provided in the cited works are new even in the case of the classical Laplacian (see also the recent paper [36]). In the framework of not necessarily stratified groups, and using representation formulas, we very recently proved some Lp-Liouville theorems, [43]. Outside the framework of Hörmander operators, we also demonstrated a Harnack inequality and maximum-propagation principles for hypoelliptic divergence-form operators with possibly infinite-degenerate coefficients; see [41].

(4) Another direction of my research has been devoted to the heat operator on Carnot groups (Gaussian estimates for the fundamental solution and its derivatives, Harnack inequality, nonnegative caloric functions): see [4, 6, 11, 14, 18]. These results apply to the study of a non-divergence class of operators with non-smooth coefficients. These operators are the linearizations of some fully nonlinear operators (e.g., curvature operators, Levi-Monge-Ampère operators). In particular, we have proved the Harnack inequality and the existence of the relevant fundamental solution, by using an adaptation of the Levi Parametrix method. Such method is based on uniform Gaussian estimates for the "frozen" operators, which are also obtained by using Lifting results. The approach used is consistent with the direct approach used in the study of stratified groups, in particular by making use of elements of Potential Theory. Useful for the study of these linearized operators is the notion of horizontal convexity (h-convexity) on Carnot groups, [23]. In this regard, we obtained both algebraic and differential-geometric results on h-convexity: in particular we have shown that h-convex functions "lift" to h-convex functions when a Carnot group is lifted to its free nilpotent group. Also, an example is given of a gauge function on a group of step two with unexpected properties of non-convexity, negatively answering to a problem so far open. Weak characterizations of h-convexity were then obtained in a recent work [34].
