Carleman estimates for a subelliptic operator and unique continuation
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Tome 44 (1994) no. 1, pp. 129-166.

Nous démontrons une inéqualité du type de Carleman pour l’opérateur sous-elliptique de la forme =Δ z +|z| 2 t 2 dans n+1 avec n2, z n , et t. On en déduit que -+V possède la propriété d’unicité stricte du prolongement des solutions aux points (0,t), t, si le potentiel V appartient localement à des espaces L p particuliers.

We establish a Carleman type inequality for the subelliptic operator =Δ z +|x| 2 t 2 in n+1 , n2, where z n , t. As a consequence, we show that -+V has the strong unique continuation property at points of the degeneracy manifold {(0,t) n+1 |t} if the potential V is locally in certain L p spaces.
