This thesis studies the extension problem for higher-order fractional powers of the heat operator $H=\Delta-\partial_t$ in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$. Specifically, given $s>0$ and indicating with $[s]$ its integral part, we study the following…

It has long been believed that dissipative time scales $\tau$ obey a "Planckian" bound $\tau \gtrsim \frac{\hbar}{k_{\mathrm{B}}T}$ in strongly coupled quantum systems. Despite much circumstantial evidence, however, there is no known $\tau$…

The aim of this paper is to construct (explicit) heat kernels for some hybrid evolution equations which arise in physics, conformal geometry and subelliptic PDEs. Hybrid means that the relevant partial differential operator appears in the…

In this work, the definition of the density operator on quantum states in Hilbert spaces and some of its aspects relevant in thermodynamics and information-theoretical entropy calculations are given. In this framework, a physical model…

In this paper we consider the heat semigroup $\{W_t\}_{t>0}$ defined by the combinatorial Laplacian and two subordinated families of $\{W_t\}_{t>0}$ on homogeneous trees $X$. We characterize the weights $u$ on $X$ for which the pointwise…

We consider the Hodge Laplacian $\Delta$ on the Heisenberg group $H_n$, endowed with a left-invariant and U(n)-invariant Riemannian metric. For $0\le k\le 2n+1$, let $\Delta_k$ denote the Hodge Laplacian restricted to $k$-forms. Our first…

A major open question in the theory of Toeplitz operator on the Bergman space of the unit disk of the complex plane is to fully characterize the set of all Toeplitz operators that commute with a given one. In [2], the second author…

We prove that the operator $L_0=-(1+|x|)^\beta(-\Delta)^{\alpha/2}$ with $\alpha\in(0,2)$, $d>\alpha$ and $\beta\ge0$ generates a compact semigroup or resolvent on $L^2(\R^d;(1+|x|)^{-\beta}\,dx)$, if and only if $\beta>\alpha$. When…
