Abstract:
We show an invariant Harnack inequality for a class of hypoelliptic
ultraparabolic operators with underlying homogeneous Lie group structures.
As a byproduct we prove a Liouville type theorem for the related stationary
operators. We also introduce a notion of link of homogeneous Lie Groups that
allows us to show that our results apply to wide classes of operators.
