Abstract

Let p:CRp:\mathbb{C}\to\mathbb{R} be a subharmonic, nonharmonic polynomial and τ\tau a real parameter. Define Zˉτp=zˉ+τpzˉ\bar{Z}_{\tau p} = \partial_{\bar z} + \tau p_{\bar z}, a closed, densely-defined operator on L2(C)L^2(\mathbb{C}). If τp=ZˉτpZˉτp\Box_{\tau p} = \bar{Z}_{\tau p}\bar{Z}_{\tau p}^* and τ>0\tau>0, we solve the heat equation (s+τp)u=0 (\partial_s + \Box_{\tau p}) u =0, u(0,z)=f(z)u(0,z) = f(z), on (0,)×C(0,\infty)\times\mathbb{C}. The solution comes via the heat semigroup esτpe^{-s\Box_{\tau p}}, and we show that u(s,z)u(s,z) is given as integration of the intial condition against a distributional kernel Hτp(s,z,w)H_{\tau p}(s,z,w). We prove that HτpH_{\tau p} is CC^\infty off the diagonal {(s,z,w):s=0and z=w}\{(s,z,w):s=0 \text{and }z=w\} and that HτpH_{\tau p} and its derivatives have exponential decay.
