A Nash Type result for Divergence Parabolic Equation related to Hormander's vector fields

Abstract

In this paper we consider the divergence parabolic equation with bounded and measurable coefficients related to Hormander's vector fields and establish a Nash type result, i.e., the local Holder regularity for weak solutions. After deriving the parabolic Sobolev inequality, (1,1) type Poincar\'e inequality of Hormander's vector fields and a De Giorgi type Lemma, the Holder regularity of weak solutions to the equation is proved based on the estimates of oscillations of solutions and the isomorphism between parabolic Campanato space and parabolic Holder space. As a consequence, we give the Harnack inequality of weak solutions by showing an extension property of positivity for functions in the De Giorgi class.
