The Fractional Powers of the Sub-Laplacian in Carnot Groups Through an Analytic Continuation
摘要
In this paper we construct the fractional powers of the sub-Laplacian in Carnot groups through an analytic continuation approach. In addition, we characterize the powers of the fractional sub-Laplacian in the Heisenberg group, and as a byproduct we compute the k-th order momenta with respect to the heat kernel.
