Estimates on the semigroups generated by left invariant operators on Lie groups.

L is a well defined operator on D'(G). L is dissipative on Cc°° in L (G) so it can be extended to a generator of a semigroup of operators. In the case nj = l and XQ = 0 the semigroup has been studied by many authors e.g. D.S. Jerison and A.Sanehez-Calle [7] proved the upper and lower bound for its kernels when G is a homogeneous group (or a compact manifold). In a series of papers cf. [11] and the references there, N. Varopoulos studied these kernels on an arbitrary unimodular Lie group. The case X0 = 0 and G is homogeneous has been studied in [2], [3] and [4].
