    The authors prove the smoothness of solutions of a class of elliptic-parabolic nonlinear Levi type equations, represented as a sum of squares plus a vector field. By means of a freezing method argument they are able to reduce the study of the operator to the study of a family of left invariant operators on a free nilpotent Lie group. Then they use the fundamental solution of the frozen operator as a parametrix for the Levi operator and deduce a representation formula for the solutions of the given equation. After that, differentiating this formula and by using a bootstrap argument they deduce that the solutions are \( C^\infty\).
