Abstract
Let be a connected semisimple Lie group, and be its connected split real form. In this paper, we deduce explicit expressions for the heat kernels associated with the Laplace--Beltrami operators and respectively, using the algebra of differential operators on an appropriate homogeneous space. These expressions involve the heat Gaussian and the heat kernel on a maximal compact subgroup. Using these expressions for and , we derive an integral formula relating the heat kernel to . In the special case of , we show that the integral formula of is expressed in terms of the properties of Tchebycheff polynomials.
