Abstract:
We find the fundamental solution to the p-Laplace equation in a class
of Hormander vector fields that generate neither a Carnot group nor
a Grushin-type space. The singularity occurs at the sub-Riemannian points,
which naturally corresponds to finding the fundamental solution of a
generalized operator in Euclidean space. We then extend these solutions
to a generalization of the p-Laplace equation and use these solutions
to find infinite harmonic functions and their generalizations.
We also compute the capacity of annuli centered at the singularity.
