Schatten and Sobolev Estimates for Green Operators on Compact Heisenberg Manifolds

Let $M = \Gamma \setminus \mathbb{H}_d$ be a compact quotient of the $d$-dimensional Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}_d$ by a lattice subgroup $\Gamma$. We give Schatten and Sobolev estimates for the Green operator $\mathcal{G}_\alpha$ associated to a fixed element of a family of second order differential operators $\left\{ \mathcal{L}_\alpha \right\}$ on $M$. In particular, it follows that the Kohn Laplacian on functions on $M$ is subelliptic. Our main tool is Folland's description of the spectrum of $\mathcal{L}_\alpha$.

Spectral Analysis of the Kohn Laplacian on Lens Spaces

We obtain an analog of Weyl's law for the Kohn Laplacian on lens spaces. We also show that two 3-dimensional lens spaces with fundamental groups of equal prime order are isospectral with respect to the Kohn Laplacian if and only if they are CR isometric.

A Tauberian Approach to an Analog of Weyl's law for the Kohn Laplacian on Compact Heisenberg Manifolds

Let $M= \Gamma \setminus \mathbb{H}_d$ be a compact quotient of the $d$-dimensional Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}_d$ by a lattice subgroup $\Gamma$. We show that the eigenvalue counting function $N(\lambda)$ for any fixed element of a family of second order differential operators $\left\{\mathcal{L}_\alpha\right\}$ on $M$ has asymptotic behavior $N\left(\lambda\right) \sim C_{d,\alpha} \operatorname{vol}\left(M\right) \lambda^{d + 1}$, where $C_{d,\alpha}$ is a constant that only depends on the dimension $d$ and the parameter $\alpha$. As a consequence, we obtain an analog of Weyl's law (both on functions and forms) for the Kohn Laplacian on $M$. Our main tools are Folland's description of the spectrum of $\mathcal{L}_{\alpha}$ and Karamata's Tauberian theorem.
