We study the horizontal Laplacian $\Delta^H$ associated to the Hopf fibration $S^3\to S^2$ with arbitrary Chern number $k$. We use representation theory to calculate the spectrum, describe the heat kernel and obtain the complete heat trace…
The two-dimensional thermoelastic problem of an adiabatic cavity in an infinite isotropic homogeneous medium subjected to uniform heat flux is studied, where the shape of the cavity is characterized by the Laurent polynomial. By virtue of a…
In this paper, the two-sided Dirichlet heat kernel estimates are obtained for a class of discontinuous isotropic Levy processes with Gaussian components in Lipschitz open sets. Furthermore, the necessary and sufficient conditions for the…
Spectral boundary conditions for Laplace-type operators, of interest in string and brane theory, are partly Dirichlet, partly Neumann-type conditions, partitioned by a pseudodifferential projection. We give sufficient conditions for…
We study the tracking or sidewise controllability of the heat equation. More precisely, we seek for controls that, acting on part of the boundary of the domain where the heat process evolves, aim to assure that the normal trace or flux on…

We identify the short time asymptotics of the sub-Riemannian heat content for a smoothly bounded domain in the first Heisenberg group. Our asymptotic formula generalizes prior work by van den Berg-Le Gall and van den Berg-Gilkey to the…
This is the second part of a two parts work on the analysis of heat-type equations on manifolds with fibered boundary equipped with a $\Phi$-metric. This setting generalizes the asymptotically conical (scattering) spaces and includes…
We assign to each nondegenerate Hamiltonian on a closed symplectic manifold a Floer-theoretic quantity called its "boundary depth," and establish basic results about how the boundary depths of different Hamiltonians are related. As…
We revisit the problem of obtaining uniform gradient estimates for Dirichlet and Neumann heat semigroups on Riemannian manifolds with boundary. As applications, we obtain isoperimetric inequalities, using Ledoux's argument, and uniform…
We consider a diffusion process on an evolving surface with a piecewise Lipschitz-continuous boundary from an energetic point of view. We employ an energetic variational approach with both surface divergence and transport theorems to derive…
We study extrema of solutions to the heat equation (i.e. hot spots) on a class of warped product manifolds of the form $([0,L]\times M,dr^2+f(r)^2h)$ where $(M,h)$ is a closed Riemannian manifold. We prove that, under certain conditions on…
This paper is devoted to the study of gradient estimates for the Dirichlet problem of the heat equation in the exterior domain of a compact set. Our results describe the time decay rates of the derivatives of solutions to the Dirichlet…
In this note we apply heat kernels to derive some localization formula in sympletcic geometry, to study moduli spaces of flat connections on a Riemann surface, to obtain the push-forward measures for certain maps between Lie groups and to…
We make two remarks about the null-controllability of the heat equation with Dirichlet condition in unbounded domains. Firstly, we give a geometric necessary condition (for interior null-controllability in the Euclidean setting)which…
A fractafold, a space that is locally modeled on a specified fractal, is the fractal equivalent of a manifold. For compact fractafolds based on the Sierpinski gasket, it was shown by the first author how to compute the discrete spectrum of…
In this paper, we study the spectral fractional Laplacian with inhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary data. Our contributions are twofold: first we introduce a Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for this operator and analyze an associated inverse problem;…
We consider classes of simply connected planar domains which are isophasal, ie, have the same scattering phase $s(\l)$ for all $\l > 0$. This is a scattering-theoretic analogue of isospectral domains. Using the heat invariants and the…
This paper is the last in a series of three papers which investigate pseudoholomorphic strips in the symplectisation of a three dimensional closed contact manifold with a mixed boundary condition. We will prove a compactness and an…
Let M be a compact Riemannian manifold with smooth boundary. We obtain the exact long time asymptotic behaviour of the heat kernel on abelian coverings of M with mixed Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions. As an application, we study…
