Hessian formulas and estimates for parabolic Schr\"odinger operators

Probability 2016-11-01 v1

Abstract

We study the Hessian of the fundamental solution to the parabolic problem for weighted Schr\"odinger operators of the form 12Δ+hV\frac 12 \Delta+\nabla h-V proving a second order Feynman-Kac formula and obtaining Hessian estimates. For manifolds with a pole, we use the Jacobian determinant of the exponential map to offset the volume growth of the Riemannian measure and use the semi-classical bridge as a delta measure at y0y_0 to obtain exact Gaussian estimates. These estimates are in terms of bounds on Ric2Hess(h)Ric-2 Hess (h), on the curvature operator, and on the cyclic sum of the gradient of the Ricci tensor.
