Abstract

This paper is concerned with domination relations between powers of subelliptic pseudo-differential operators. Take L1, L2 two subelliptic second order pseudodifferential operators, where the subellipticity condition is expressed in terms of Sobolev norms related to a metric g and both Lj are assumed to have nonnegative symbols aj. Denote by gσ the dual metric of g with respect to the symplectic structure on the phase space . It is shown that the operator inequality

is equivalent to the condition

where 0 < αβ are given, provided that ε2 (the subellipticity index of L2) is ≥ 1.
