Abstract
A classical theorem of Montel states that a family of holomorphic functions on a domain Ω⊆C, uniformly bounded on the compact subsets of Ω, is a normal family. The aim of this paper is to obtain a generalization of this result in the subelliptic setting of families of solutions u to Lu=0, where L belongs to a wide class of real divergence-form PDOs, comprising sub-Laplacians on Carnot groups, subelliptic Laplacians on arbitrary Lie groups, as well as the Laplace–Beltrami operator on Riemannian manifolds. To this end, we extend another remarkable result, due to Koebe: we characterize the solutions to Lu=0 as fixed points of suitable mean-value operators with non-trivial kernels. A suitable substitute for the Cauchy integral formula is also provided. Finally, the local-boundedness assumption is relaxed, by replacing it with Lloc1-boundedness.
