Differential operators on a compact Lie group associated to bracket-generating sets
Let $G$ be a compact connected Lie group of dimension $m$ with Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$.
Let $\{X_1,\dots,X_h\}$ be a linearly independent set of $\mathfrak g$.
Assume that $\{X_1,\dots,X_h\}$ is ...

Does the Laplacian commutes with elements of the basis of the Lie algebra?
Let $G$ be a compact Lie group with Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. I know that if $g$ is semi-simple then the Laplace-Beltrami operator on $G$ agrees with the Casimir element and therefore commutes with ...
