Résumé - Abstract

The article studies a second-order linear differential operator of the type $ -L=$ $X_{1}^{2}+\cdots +X_{r}^{2}$, i. e., a sum of squares of real, and real-analytic, vector fields $X_{i}$. The conjectured necessary and sufficient condition for analytic hypo- ellipticity, based on the Poisson stratification of the characteristic variety, is recalled in simple analytic and geometric terms. It is conjectured that the microlocal Gevrey hypo-ellipticity of $L$ depends on the restrictions of the principal symbol $ \sigma \left( L\right) $ to $2D$ or $4D$ symplectic manifolds associated to each bicharateristic curve in a nonsymplectic stratum.
