$L^p$-Asymptotic Profiles for the Heat Equation with a Hardy Potential

Abstract

For radial initial data, we construct explicit higher-order asymptotic profiles in Lp(RN)L^p(\mathbb{R}^N) to the heat equation with inverse-square potential. These profiles are obtained from the small-argument expansion (up to arbitrary order nn) of the modified Bessel function appearing in the radial heat kernel. We prove that, after subtracting the profile of order nn, the remainder decays faster by an additional power of tt. We also describe the non-radial case through spherical harmonics: each angular mode evolves according to a radial Hardy heat equation, leading to finite and infinite angular expansion versions of the asymptotic profile under suitable summability assumptions.
