HYPOELLIPTICITY OF SYSTEMS OF ANALYTIC VECTOR FIELDS

In this paper, we are concerned with the pointwise-hypoellipticity (see Definition 2.1) of an m-dimensional Frobenious Lie algebra L of analytic complex vector fields in somel open subset .ohm. of $R^{m+1}$. That is, L is a set of complex vector fields in .ohm. with (real-) analytic coefficients satisfying: (A) each point of .ohm. has an open neighborhood in which L is generated by m linearly independent elements of L; (B) L is closed under the commutation bracket [A, B]. The pointwise-analytic hypoellipticity of L is completely characterized by M.S. Baouendi and F. Treves in [1]. Here, we shall prove that if L is hypoelliptic at a point then it must be analytic hypoelliptic in a full neighborhood of the same point. When the coefficients are $C^{\infty}$, hypoellipticity of L was discussed in [2].2].
