Degenerate operators of the second order of the type $$A^ h=(1/2)\sum_ 1^ mX_ i^ 2+X_ 0+h$$ with $$X_ i \in C^ \infty_ b$$ in regular domains $$D$$ are studied. In Section III (the first section in this part of the paper) the $$C^ \infty (\overline D \times \overline D)$$ property for the semigroup flow associated with $$A^ h$$ is established under appropriate hypotheses on $$h$$ and exit time (coercivity) and the regularity of $$\partial D$$ (non-characteristic assumption with respect to vector-fields $$(X_ i)$$) along with Hörmander type conditions on $$(X_ i)$$. In Section IV the regularity of Green and Poisson kernels is established under the same kind assumptions. In Section V the hypoellipticity for the Dirichlet problem for the operator $$A^ h$$ is proved. Results of the paper generalise results from [G. Ben Arous, S. Kusuoka and D. W. Stroock, J. Funct. Anal. 56, 171-209 (1984; Zbl 0556.35036)].
