Sufficient conditions for local solvability of some degenerate PDO with complex subprincipal symbol
We will show a local solvability result for a class of degenerate second order linear partial differential operators with a complex subprincipal symbol. Due to the form of the operators in the class the subprincipal symbol is invariantly defined and we shall give sufficient conditions for the local solvability to hold involving the real and the imaginary part of the latter. Under suitable conditions we will prove that the class under consideration is L^2 to L^2 locally solvable.
