We prove a homogenization formula for a sub-Laplacian are left invariant Hörmander vector fields) on a connected Lie group Gof polynomial growth. Then using a rescaling argument inspired from M. Avellanedaand F. H. Lin [2], we prove Harnack inequalities for the positive solutions of the equation (∂/∂t+ L)u= 0. Using these inequalities and further exploiting the algebraic structure of Gwe prove that the Riesz transforms , are bounded on Lq,1 < q <+∞ and from L1to weak-L1.

Résumé

Résumé

On démontre une formule de homogénéisation pour un sous-Laplacien sont des champs de vecteurs de Hörmander invariants à gauche) sur un group de Lie Gconnexe, à croissance polynômiale du volume. Après, en utilisant un argument de rescalarisation inspiré de M. Avellaneda et F. H. Lin [2], on démontre des inégalités de Harnack pour les solutions positives de l'équation (∂/∂t +L)u =0. En utilisant ces inégalités et en exploitant la structure algébrique de G,on démontre que les transformés de Riesz sont bornés sur Lq, 1 < q < +∞et de L1dans L1 -faible.
