A solution to the heat equation between Riemannian manifolds, where the domain is compact and possibly has boundary, will not leave a compact and locally convex set before the image of the boundary does.
The conventional Tolman temperature based on the assumption of the traceless condition of energy-momentum tensor for matter fields is infinite at the horizon if Hawking radiation is involved. However, we note that the temperature associated…

We study a Dirichlet problem for the heat equation in a domain containing an interior hole. The domain has a fixed outer boundary and a variable inner boundary determined by a diffeomorphism $\phi$. We analyze the maps that assign to the…
I discuss the trace of a heat kernel Tr[e^(-tA)] for compact fuzzy spaces. In continuum theory its asymptotic expansion for t -> +0 provides geometric quantities, and therefore may be used to extract effective geometric quantities for fuzzy…

Convection on geophysical and astrophysical scales is subject to rapid rotation and strong heating from within the domain. In studying the long-time behaviour of the solutions for such a system, energy identities fail to capture the effects…
