Global analytic and Gevrey hypoellipticity of sublaplacians under Diophantine conditions

In this paper we consider the problem of global Gevrey and analytic regularity for a class of partial differential operators on a torus in the form of a sum of squares of vector fields, which may not satisfy the bracket condition. We show that these operators are globally Gevrey or analytic hypoelliptic on the torus if and only if the coefficients satisfy certain Diophantine approximation properties.

     

Analytic Hypoellipticity at Non-Symplectic Poisson-Treves Strata for Certain Sums of Squares of Vector Fields

We consider an operator P which is a sum of squares of vector fields with analytic coefficients. The operator has a non-symplectic characteristic manifold, but the rank of the symplectic form σ is not constant on Char P. Moreover the Hamilton foliation of the non-symplectic stratum of the Poisson-Treves stratification for P consists of closed curves in a ring-shaped open set around the origin. We prove that then P is analytic hypoelliptic on that open set. And we note explicitly that the local Gevrey hypoellipticity for P is G ^k+1 and that this is sharp.      

Regularity and solvability of linear differential operators in Gevrey spaces

We are interested in the following question: when regularity properties of a linear differential operator imply solvability of its transpose in the sense of Gevrey ultradistributions? This question is studied for a class of abstract operators that contains the usual differential operators with real‐analytic coefficients. We obtain a new proof of a global result on compact manifolds (global Gevrey hypoellipticity implying global solvability of the transpose), as well as some results in the non‐compact case by means of the so‐called property of non‐confinement of singularities. We provide applications to Hörmander operators, to operators of constant strength and to locally integrable systems of vector fields. We also analyze a conjecture stated in a recent paper of Malaspina and Nicola, which asserts that, in differential complexes naturally arising from locally integrable structures, local solvability in the sense of ultradistributions implies local solvability in the sense of distributions. We establish the validity of the conjecture when the cotangent structure bundle is spanned by the differential of a single first integral.     

Global analytic and Gevrey solvability of sublaplacians under Diophantine conditions

We prove that global analytic and Gevrey solvability on the torus is equivalent to certain Diophantine approximation properties.

A generalization of Borel's theorem and microlocal Gevrey regularity in involutive structures

In this paper, we use Borel's procedure to construct Gevrey approximate solutions of an initial value problem for involutive systems of Gevrey complex vector fields. As an application, we describe the Gevrey wave-front set of the boundary values of approximate solutions in wedges W of Gevrey involutive structures (M,V). We prove that the Gevrey wave-front set of the boundary value is contained in the polar of a certain cone ΓT(W) contained in RV∩TX where X is a maximally real edge of W. We also prove a partial converse.     

On Gevrey singularities of microhyperbolic operators

We study the Gevrey singularities of solutions of microhyperbolic equations using exponential weighted estimates in the phase space. In particular, we recover some known results on the propagation of Gevrey regularity in an elementary way, using microlocal exponential estimates.     

Optimal non-isotropic gevrey exponents for sums of squares of vector fields

We prove sharp non-isotropic Gevrey hypoellipticiy for a class ofo partial differential operators that are sums of squares of real vector fields (and their generalizations) satisfying the Hormander bracket condition. These include the Baouendi-Goulaouic operator. Our results, which refine those of Chirst [8], are proved entirely by L ² methods and a careful study of brackets of vector fields. Applications to a recent conjecture of Traves are given.     

Gevrey class regularity for quasi-linear sub-elliptic equations of second order

In this work we study the Gevrey regularity of solutions to a general class of second order quasi-linear equations. Under some kind of sub-ellipticity conditions, we obtain the Gevrey regularity of weak solutions to these equations.     

Regularity of multiwavelets

The motivation for this paper is an interesting observation made by Plonka concerning the factorization of the matrix symbol associated with the refinement equation for B-splines with equally spaced multiple knots at integers and subsequent developments which relate this factorization to regularity of refinable vector fields over the real line. Our intention is to contribute to this train of ideas which is partially driven by the importance of refinable vector fields in the construction of multiwavelets. The use of subdivision methods will allow us to consider the problem almost entirely in the spatial domain and leads to exact characterizations of differentiability and Hölder regularity in arbitrary L _p spaces. We first study the close relationship between vector subdivision schemes and a generalized notion of scalar subdivision schemes based on bi-infinite matrices with certain periodicity properties. For the latter type of subdivision scheme we will derive criteria for convergence and Hölder regularity of the limit function, which mainly depend on the spectral radius of a bi-infinite matrix induced by the subdivision operator, and we will show that differentiability of the limit functions can be characterized by factorization properties of the subdivision operator. By switching back to vector subdivision we will transfer these results to refinable vectors fields and obtain characterizations of regularity by factorization and spectral radius properties of the symbol associated to the refinable vector field. Finally, we point out how multiwavelets can be generated from orthonormal refinable bi-infinite vector fields.     

Gevrey regularity for the supercritical quasi-geostrophic equation

In this paper, following the techniques of Foias and Temam, we establish suitable Gevrey class regularity of solutions to the supercritical quasi-geostrophic equations in the whole space, with initial data in “critical” Sobolev spaces. Moreover, the Gevrey class that we obtain is “near optimal” and as a corollary, we obtain temporal decay rates of higher order Sobolev norms of the solutions. Unlike the Navier–Stokes or the subcritical quasi-geostrophic equations, the low dissipation poses a difficulty in establishing Gevrey regularity. A new commutator estimate in Gevrey classes, involving the dyadic Littlewood–Paley operators, is established that allow us to exploit the cancellation properties of the equation and circumvent this difficulty.     

Regularity of Traveling Free Surface Water Waves with Vorticity

We prove real analyticity of all the streamlines, including the free surface, of a gravity- or capillary-gravity-driven steady flow of water over a flat bed, with a Hölder continuous vorticity function, provided that the propagating speed of the wave on the free surface exceeds the horizontal fluid velocity throughout the flow. Furthermore, if the vorticity possesses some Gevrey regularity of index s, then the stream function of class C ^2,μ admits the same Gevrey regularity throughout the fluid domain; in particular if the Gevrey index s equals 1, then we obtain analyticity of the stream function. The regularity results hold not only for periodic or solitary-water waves, but also for any solution to the hydrodynamic equations of class C ^2,μ .     

Gevrey vectors in involutive tube structures and Gevrey regularity for the solutions of certain classes of semilinear systems

In this work, we introduce the notion of s-Gevrey vectors in locally integrable structures of tube type. Under the hypothesis of analytic hypoellipticity, we study the Gevrey regularity of such vectors and also show how this notion can be applied to the study of the Gevrey regularity of solutions of certain classes of semilinear equations.     

Gevrey Class Regularity of a Semigroup Associated with a Nonlinear Korteweg-de Vries Equation

In this paper, the authors consider the Gevrey class regularity of a semigroup associated with a nonlinear Korteweg-de Vries(Kd V for short) equation. By estimating the resolvent of the corresponding linear operator, the authors conclude that the semigroup generated by the linear operator is not analytic but of Gevrey class δ∈( 3/2, ∞) for t 0.     

The Gevrey smoothing effect for the spatially inhomogeneous Boltzmann equations without cut-off

In this article we study the Gevrey regularization effect for the spatially inhomogeneous Boltzmann equation without angular cut-off.This equation is partially elliptic in the velocity direction and degenerates in the spatial variable.We consider the nonlinear Cauchy problem for the fluctuation around the Maxwellian distribution and prove that any solution with mild regularity will become smooth in the Gevrey class at positive time with the Gevrey index depending on the angular singularity.Our proof relies on the symbolic calculus for the collision operator and the global subelliptic estimate for the Cauchy problem of the linearized Boltzmann operator.     

Third order homogeneous weakly hyperbolic equations with nonanalytic coefficients

We consider the Cauchy problem for homogeneous linear third order weakly hyperbolic equations with time depending coefficients. We study the relation between the regularity of the coefficients and the Gevrey class in which the Cauchy problem is well-posed.     

The p-rank stratification on the Siegel moduli space with Iwahori level structure

Our concern in this paper is to describe the p-rank stratification on the Siegel moduli space with Iwahori level structure over fields of positive characteristic. We calculate the dimension of the strata and describe the closure of a given stratum in terms of p-rank strata. We also examine the relationship between the p-rank stratification and the Kottwitz–Rapoport stratification.     

Remarks On The Regularity Of Weak Solutions Of The Navier–Stokes Equations

In this paper we extend the results of Foias–Guillopé–Temam on the regularity and a priori estimates for the weak solutions of the Navier–Stokes equations. More specifically, we obtain upperbounds for the temporal averages of the Gevrey class norm for the weak solutions of the equations. The estimates are obtained first by getting integrated version of Foias–Temam's local in time estimate for Gevrey class norms of strong solutions and next by an induction procedure. We also strengthen slightly the local in time Gevrey class regularization of strong solutions.     

Analyticity of solutions of semi-linear equations with double characteristics

We prove the analyticity and Gevrey regularity of solutions of elliptic degenerate semi-linear differential equations principle part of which is a linear operator with double characteristics considered first by Gilioli and Treves. A new elementary proof for hypoellipticity in the weak sense is given.     

Long-Time Instability of the Couette Flow in Low Gevrey Spaces

We prove the instability of the Couette flow if the disturbances is less smooth than the Gevrey space of class 2. This shows that this is the critical regularity for this problem since it was proved in [5] that stability and inviscid damping hold for disturbances which are smoother than the Gevrey space of class 2. A big novelty is that this critical space is due to an instability mechanism which is completely nonlinear and is due to some energy cascade. © 2023 The Authors.

Gevrey properties of real planar singularly perturbed systems

By applying geometric techniques to real analytic singularly perturbed vector fields on the plane, we develop a way to give a bound on the Gevrey type of the Taylor development of center manifolds at normally hyperbolic turning points, and show that the same technique is useful in the study of degenerate planar turning points and their corresponding canard manifolds. At the end of the Note, we motivate the interest in Gevrey asymptotics by briefly discussing its relation with bifurcation delay. To cite this article: P. De Maesschalck, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser.
