Obstructions to exact regularity of sublaplacians
Let $M$ be a closed manifold equipped with a collection of smooth real vector fields $X_1,\ldots, X_k$ and a smooth measure $\mu$. Let $P:=\sum_j X_j^\dagger X_j $ be the associated sublaplacian. Under the assumption that each pair of points of $M$ can be connected by a path obtained by joining integral curves of the v...
