Hörmander-type sufficient condition for hypoellipticity on p.c.f. fractals

Let PP be a polynomial in mm variables and let P(Δ)P(\Delta) be the corresponding operator on a product of p.c.f. fractals. For a multi-index κ\kappa, write DκPD^{\kappa}P for the corresponding partial derivative. Hörmander-type hypoellipticity conjecture. A sufficient condition for the hypoellipticity of P(Δ)P(\Delta) is

DκP(ξ)P(ξ)0as ξ\frac{D^{\kappa}P(\xi)}{P(\xi)}\longrightarrow 0\quad\text{as }\xi\to\infty

for every partial derivative DκD^{\kappa} with κ>0|\kappa|>0. This is proposed as a fractal analogue of the Euclidean hypoellipticity criterion, but the source does not establish the condition in the fractal setting.
