Abstract

This paper deals with the Schrödinger equation i∂su(z, t; s) - Lu(z, t; s)= 0, where L is the sub-Laplacian on the Heisenberg group. Assume that the initial data f satisfies |f(z, t)| ≤ qa(z, t), where qs is the heat kernel associated to L. If in addition |u(z, t; s0) ≤ qβ (z, t), for some s0 ∈ R \ {0}, then we prove that u(z, t; s)= 0 for all s ∈ R whenever αβ < s02. This result holds true in the more general context of H-type groups. We also prove an analogous result for the Grushin operator on Rn+1.
