Stratified Lie Groups and Potential Theory for Their Sub-Laplacians

The existence, for every sub-Laplacian, of a homogeneous fundamental solution smooth out of the origin, plays a crucial role in the book. This makes it possible to develop an exhaustive Potential Theory, almost completely parallel to that of the classical Laplace operator. This book provides an exte...
