Abstract
We study the (micro)hypoanalyticity and the Gevrey hypoellipticity of sums of squares of vector fields in terms of the Poisson–Treves stratification. The FBI transform is used. We prove hypoanalyticity for several classes of sums of squares and show that our method, though not general, includes almost every known hypoanalyticity result. Examples are discussed.- Paolo Albano, Antonio Bove, and Gregorio Chinni, Minimal microlocal Gevrey regularity for “sums of squares”, Int. Math. Res. Not. IMRN 12 (2009), 2275–2302.
