Hg. Leopold et E. Schrohe, INVARIANCE OF THE L-P SPECTRUM FOR HYPOELLIPTIC-OPERATORS, Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, 125(12), 1997, pp. 3679-3687
We show that the spectra of the L-p-realizations for a class of hypoel
liptic (pseudo-)differential operators are independent of p in an inte
rval around p = 2 depending on the growth properties of the symbol. Fo
r elliptic operators we obtain the classical boundedness interval of F
efferman; in the general case we obtain a smaller interval which is as
large as one can possibly expect it to be.
