Abstract: | We prove global analytic hypoellipticity on a product of tori for partial differential operators which are constructed as rigid (variable coefficient) quadratic polynomials in real vector fields satisfying the Hörmander condition and where satisfies a ``maximal' estimate. We also prove an analyticity result that is local in some variables and global in others for operators whose prototype is (with analytic , naturally, but not identically zero). The results, because of the flexibility of the methods, generalize recent work of Cordaro and Himonas in [4] and Himonas in [8] which showed that certain operators known not to be locally analytic hypoelliptic (those of Baouendi and Goulaouic [1], Hanges and Himonas [6], and Christ [3]) were globally analytic hypoelliptic on products of tori. |
