The concepts of $\epsilon$-nets and unitary ($\delta$-approximate) $t$-designs are important and ubiquitous across quantum computation and information. Both notions are closely related and the quantitative relations between $t$, $\delta$…

It is shown that the heat kernel operator for the Laplace operator on any covariantly constant curved background, i.e. in symmetric spaces, may be presented in form of an averaging over the Lie group of isometries with some nontrivial…

This article shows that under locally uniformly integral bounds of the negative part of Ricci curvature the heat kernel admits a Gaussian upper bound for small times. This provides general assumptions on the geometry of a manifold such that…

An approach for solving scattering problems, based on two quantum field theory methods, the heat kernel method and the scattering spectral method, is constructed. This approach converts a method of calculating heat kernels into a method of…

We obtain Gaussian upper bounds for heat kernels of higher order differential operators with Dirichlet boundary conditions on bounded domains in $\R^N$. The bounds exhibit explicitly the nature of the spatial decay of the heat kernel close…

The heat kernel associated with the setting of the classical Jacobi polynomials is defined by an oscillatory sum which cannot be computed explicitly, in contrast to the situation for the two other classical systems of orthogonal…

Nash or Sobolev inequalities are known to be equivalent to ultracontractive properties of Markov semigroups, hence to uniform bounds on their kernel densities. In this work we present a simple and extremely general method, based on weighted…

We give a direct proof of the sharp two-sided estimates, recently established in [4,9], for the Dirichlet heat kernel of the fractional Laplacian with gradient perturbation in $C^{1, 1}$ open sets by using Duhamel formula. We also obtain a…

For incomplete sub-Riemannian manifolds, and for an associated second-order hypoelliptic operator, which need not be symmetric, we identify two alternative conditions for the validity of Gaussian-type upper bounds on heat kernels and…

In this paper, we study the large time behavior of the heat kernel on complete Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature, which was studied by P. Li with additional maximum volume growth assumption. Following Y. Ding's original…

We consider the kernel of a hypoelliptic diffusion beyond the case of sub-ellipticity or polynomial coefficients. We get a full asymptotic expansion for small times, based on a Duhamel-type comparison with an approximate polynomial kernel.…

We obtain heat kernel estimates for a class of fourth order non-uniformly elliptic operators in two dimensions. Contrary to existing results, the operators considered have symbols that are not strongly convex. This rises certain…

We use the heat kernel (on differential forms) on a compact Riemannian manifold to assign a real number to a k-tuple of cycles on the manifold satisfying certain conditions. If k is 2, this number is the ordinary topological linking number,…

Complex fractal dimensions, defined as poles of appropriate fractal zeta functions, describe the geometric oscillations in fractal sets. In this work, we show that the same possible complex dimensions in the geometric setting also govern…

The first heat kernel coefficients are calculated for a dispersive ball whose permittivity at high frequency differs from unity by inverse powers of the frequency. The corresponding divergent part of the vacuum energy of the electromagnetic…

In this paper we study the large time behavior of the (minimal) heat kernel $k_P^M(x,y,t)$ of a general time independent parabolic operator $L=u_t+P(x, \partial_x)$ which is defined on a noncompact manifold $M$. More precisely, we prove…

In this work, we establish the uniform heat kernel asymptotics as well as sharp bounds for its derivatives on the free step-two Carnot group with $3$ generators. As a by-product, on this highly non-trivial toy model, we completely solve the…

On a doubling metric measure space endowed with a "carr\'e du champ", we consider $L^p$ estimates $(G_p)$ of the gradient of the heat semigroup and scale-invariant $L^p$ Poincar\'e inequalities $(P_p)$. We show that the combination of…

We study the heat kernel for an operator of Laplace type with a $\delta$-function potential concentrated on a closed surface. We derive the general form of the small $t$ asymptotics and calculate explicitly several first heat kernel…

Using a new inequality relating the heat kernel and the probability of survival, we prove asymptotic ratio limit theorems for the heat kernel (and survival probability) in general Benedicks domains. In particular, the dimension of the cone…
