A regularity theorem for fully nonlinear maximally subelliptic PDE

Abstract

We prove a sharp interior regularity theorem for fully nonlinear maximally subelliptic PDE in non-isotropic Sobolev spaces adapted to maximally subelliptic operators. This result complements the regularity theorem proven by Street for adapted Zygmund-Hölder spaces. This also recovers the classical regularity theorem for fully nonlinear elliptic differential operators for classical Sobolev spaces. We also obtain a sharp interior regularity theorem for fully nonlinear maximally subelliptic PDE in isotropic Sobolev spaces.
