Abstract

We consider here some differential operators arising from the so called Carnot-Carathéodory metric spaces associated with a family of vector fields X = (X1, . . . ,Xk), which include the Hörmander type as a special case. We prove some weak and strong comparison results for solutions of the relevant differential inequalities. We then use these results to get some symmetry and monotonicity properties of solutions of the relevant partial differential equations.
