Fourier multipliers on graded Lie groups

Abstract: In this paper we study multipliers on graded nilpotent Lie groups defined via group Fourier transform. More precisely, we show that H\"ormander type conditions on the Fourier multipliers imply $L^p$-boundedness. We express these conditions using difference operators and positive Rockland operators. We also obtain a more refined condition using Sobolev spaces on the dual of the group which are defined and studied in this paper.
