Abstract

We consider a class of hypoelliptic ultraparabolic operators in the form

under the assumption that the vector fields and are invariant with respect to a suitable homogeneous Lie group . We show that if are two solutions of on and , then each of the following conditions: can be bounded by , or both and are non negative, implies . We use a technique which relies on a pointwise estimate of the fundamental solution of .
