On a compact connected group G, consider the infinitesimal generator \(-L\) of a central symmetric Gaussian convolution semigroup \((\mu _t)_{t>0}\) . We establish several regularity results of the solution to the Poisson equation \(LU=F\) , both in strong and weak senses. To this end, we introduce two classes of Lipschitz spaces for \(1\le p\le \infty \) : \(\Lambda _{\theta }^p\) , defined via the associated Markov semigroup, and \(\mathrm L_{\theta }^p\) , defined via the intrinsic distance. In the strong sense, we prove a priori Sobolev regularity and Lipschitz regularity in the class of \(\Lambda _{\theta }^p\) space. In the distributional sense, we further show local regularity in the class of \(\mathrm L_{\theta }^{\infty }\) space. These results require some strong assumptions on \(-L\) . Our main techniques build on the differentiability of the associated semigroup, explicit dimension-free \(L^p\) ( \(1<p<\infty \) ) boundedness of first and second order Riesz transforms, and a comparison between the two Lipschitz norms.
