They form a subclass of all 2-step nilpotent Lie groups and based on their algebraic structure they can be equipped with a left-invariant pseudo-Riemannian metric. Let $\\mathcal{N}_{r,s}$ denote the Lie algebra corresponding to $G_{r,s}$. A choice of left-invariant vector fields $[X_1, \\ldots, X_{2n}]$ which generate a complement of the center of $\\mathcal{N}_{r,s}$ gives rise to a second order operator \\begin{equation*} \\Delta_{r,s}:= \\big{(}X_1^2+ \\ldots + X_n^2\\big{)}- \\big{(}X_{n+1}^2+ \\ldots + X_{2n}^2 \\big{)}, \\end{equation*} which we call ultra-hyperbolic. In terms of classical special functions we present families of fundamental solutions of $\\Delta_{r,s}$ in the case $r=0$, $s>0$ and study their properties. In the case of $r>0$ we prove that $\\Delta_{r,s}$ admits no fundamental solution in the space of tempered distributions. Finally we discuss the local solvability of $\\Delta_{r,s}$ and the existence of a fundamental solution in the space of Schwartz distributions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-01-24T10:02:31.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "65M80", "22E25" ], "keywords": [ "fundamental solution", "type groups", "ultra-hyperbolic operators", "nilpotent lie groups", "second order operator" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 40, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
