Abstract

Let L be a linear second order horizontally elliptic operator on a Carnot group of step two. We assume L in non-divergence form and with measurable coefficients. Then, we prove the Double Ball Property for the nonnegative sub-solutions of L. With our result, in order to solve the Harnack inequality problem for this kind of operators, it becomes sufficient to prove the so called ε-Critical Density.
