Abstract | |
We are concerned with the study of properties so that we can solve certain partial differential equations. We will consider equations of the form Lu = f; where we take L in some classes of vector fields on tori of dimension greater than two. This vector fields are viewed as operators acting on the space of smooth functions deffned on the torus. The main questions to study the closedness of the range of L. It is also of interest to know whe ther the range has finite codimension, as well as to study the regularity of L. The answers of these questions are connected with certain properties of the coeffcients of L; such as: Diophantine conditions; the connectedness of some sublevel sets involving primitive so fthe imaginary part of the coeffcients; the order of vanishing of each coeffcient and relations between the order of vanishing of the real and imaginary parts of each coeffcient; in addition, the number of times that the imaginary part of a coeffcient c changes sign between two consecutive zeros of c also plays a role. We characterize both global solvability and hypoellipticity for vector fields of tube type on tori of dimension greater than two, extending the results in dimension two. More over, in dimension three, we find conditions for the closedness of the range for a class of vector fields which are not of tube type. One of theese conditions is related to the well known Nirenberg-Treves condition (P). In particular,we obtain the same for a class of vector fields on the two- torus,for which the codimension of the range was largely studied. (AU) |
