Here . Z is the “unique” (modulo multiplication by nonzero functions) holomorphic vector-field which is tangent to the boundary of the “degenerate generalized upper half-plane”

(3)

In our terminology t = Re z 1. We note that ℒ is nowhere elliptic. To put it into context, ℒ is of the type □b , i.e. operators like ℒ occur in the study of the boundary Cauchy-Riemann complex. For more information concerning this connection the reader should consult [1] and [2].
