Abstract

This article studies sharp norm estimates for the commutator of pseudo-differential operators with multiplication operators on closed Heisenberg manifolds. In particular, we obtain a Calderón commutator estimate: If is a first-order operator in the Heisenberg calculus and is Lipschitz in the Carnot–Carathéodory metric, then Œ extends to an -bounded operator. Using interpolation, it implies sharpweak-Schatten class properties for the commutator between zeroth order operators and Hölder continuous functions. We present applications to sub-Riemannian spectral triples on Heisenberg manifolds as well as to the regularization of a functional studied by Englis–Guo–Zhang.
