1. The Inverse of Some Differential Operators on the Heisenberg Group,
Comm. in PDEs. Vol.20 (7&8)(1995), 1275-1302.
Abstract: By using the pseudo-differential operator methods introduced by Beals and Greiner in studying the fundamental solution for the Heisenberg Laplacian, we find the symbol of the inverse of a very interesting PDO and the corresponding kernel. It is interesting to observe that the kernel of the fundamental solution depends very strongly on the dimension n.
2. Embedding \bf C1 into \bf H1
Canad.J. Math. Vol. 47 (6)(1996), 1317-1328.
Abstract: In this paper, we proved directly a theorem of Greiner in n=1. This result implies that the classical Mikhlin-Calderon-Zygmund calculus for the Principal value convolution operators on C1 is, in a natural way, the limit of Laguerre calculus for principal value convolution operators on the Heisenberg group.
3. (Joint with Der-Chen Chang)) Estimates for the spectral projection operators of the sub-Laplacian on the Heisenberg group
J. Analyse. Math Vol.71 (6)(1997), 313-347.
Abstract: We use Laguerre calculus to find the Lp spectrum of the pair (L,T). Here L is the Kohn's sub-Laplacian on the Heisenberg group. We find the kernels for the spectrum projection operators and show that they are Mikhlin-Calderon-Zygmundoperators.
Estimates for the projection operators in various spaces were deduced.
4. The explicit solution of the ˉ∂-Neumann problem in the non-isotropic Siegel Domain.
Canad. J. Math. Vol.49 (6) (1997),1299-132.
Abstract: In this paper, we solve the ˉ∂-Neumann problem on (0,q) forms, 0≤q≤n, in the strictly pseudoconvex non-isotropic Siegel domain. The metric we use is invariant under the action of the Heisenberg group on the domain. The fundamental solution of the related differential equation is derived via the Laguerre calculus. We obtain an explicit formula for the kernel of the Neumann operator. We also construct the solution of the corresponding heat equation and the fundamental solution of the Laplacian operator on the Heisenberg group.

Finite or infinite dimensional complex analysis, (Fukuoka, 1999), 47--53, Lecture Notes in Pure and Appl. Math., 214, Dekker, New York, 2000.
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to describe research we have been doing recently in an area of analysis lies at the confluence of two directions of research: the study of Laguerre calculus on the Heisenberg group, and the theory of subelliptic boundaryvalue problems. Here we intend only to outline part of the results we have obtained.
6. (Joint with Der-Chen Chang) Estimates for the powers of the sub-Laplacian on the non-isotropic Heisenberg group.
J. Geom. Anal Vol.10(4) (2000), 653-678.
Abstract: We apply the Laguerre calculus to obtain the explicit kernel for the fundamental solution of the powers and heat kernels of the Kohn's sub-Laplacian on the non-isotropic Heisenberg group. We then proved some estimates of these kernels in various spaces.
7. (Joint with Der-Chen Chang) An identity related to the Riesz transforms on the Heisenberg group.
Complex Variables Theory Appl. Vol.40(6) (2000), 395--421.
Abstract: Let be a real basis for the Heisenberg Lie algebra

8. (Joint with Der-Chen Chang) Some differential operators related to the sub-Laplacian on the non-isotropic Heisenberg group
Math. Nachr. Vol. 221 (2001) 19-29.
Abstract: Let ℒα = + iαT be the sub–Laplacian on the non–isotropic Heisenberg group Hn where Zj
for j = 1, 2, …, n and T are a basis of the Lie algebra. We apply the Laguerre calculus to obtain the fundamental solution of the heat kernel exp{—sℒα}, the Schrödinger operator exp{—isℒα} and the operator
+ iαT. We also discuss some basic properties of the wave operator.
9. (Joint with Der-Chen Chang and Robert Gilbert), Bergman Projection and Weighted Holomorphic Functions,
Operator Theory: Adavances and Applications, Vol. 143, 147-169, 2003.
Abstract: In this paper, we prove the boundedness of the generalized Cesaro operators on Hardy and the generalized Bergman spaces and present a class of invariant subspace under the action of this operator.

Proceedings of a Satellite Conference to the ICM in Beijing 2002, 1-36, 2004.
Abstract: the article is based on the lectures given by Der-Chen Chang and Peter C. Greiner a the Satellite Conferences of ICM 2002 on Geometric Function Theory in Several Complex Variables. We have surveyed the basic notion of the sub-Riemannian geometry on the Heisenberg group and the Martinet case.
