Hörmander's hypoellipticity theorem for complex coefficients

Hörmander's theorem says that if $L = \sum _{i=1} ^r X_i ^2+ X_0 + f$ on some open subset $U \subseteq \Bbb R$ has the property that the Lie algebra generated by $\{X_0, \dots, X_r\}$ at every point ...

Poincaré lemma for distributions

Let us consider a current on $\mathbb R^n$, that is a differential form whose coefficients are distributions. For simplicity, let us check the case of a $1$-form $$ u=\sum_{1\le j\le n} u_j dx_j,\quad ...

Construct a PDE solution from a net of approximations

Consider $P$ a linear partial differential operator in $\Bbb R ^n$. Consider some boundary condition given in the generic form $C(u) = 0$, that guarantees a unique solution (if any) of $Pu = 0$. Let $...

The hypoellipticity of a heat-like operator

I am aware that the heat operator (on a smooth manifold) is hypoelliptic. I am also aware that there are manifolds on which the Schrödinger's operator (with a $\Bbb i = \sqrt {-1}$ multiplying $\frac {...
