In this paper we discuss non-local operators with killing potentials, which may not be in the standard Kato class. We first discuss factorization of their Dirichlet heat kernels in metric measure spaces. Then we establish explicit estimates…
We establish dimension-independent estimates related to heat operators e^{tL} on manifolds. We first develop a very general contractivity result for Markov kernels which can be applied to diffusion semigroups. Second, we develop estimates…
We prove upper and lower bounds of the heat kernel for the operator $\Delta-\nabla (\frac{1}{|x|^{\alpha}})\cdot \nabla $ in $\mathbb{R}^{n}\setminus\{0} $ where $\alpha >0$. We obtain these bounds from an isoperimetric inequality for a…
In this work we establish sharp kernel conditions ensuring that the corresponding integral operators belong to Schatten-von Neumann classes. The conditions are given in terms of the spectral properties of operators acting on the kernel. As…
We compute the heat kernel coefficients that are needed for the regularization and renormalization of massive gravity. Starting from the Stueckelberg action for massive gravity, we determine the propagators of the different fields (massive…
In this paper, we study an asymptotic expansion of the heat kernel for a Laplace operator on a smooth Riemannian manifold without a boundary at enough small values of the proper time. The Seeley-DeWitt coefficients of this decomposition…
This paper is devoted to the study of noncommutative maximal operators with rough kernels. More precisely, we prove the weak type $(1,1)$ boundedness for noncommutative maximal operators with rough kernels. The proof of weak type (1,1)…
In this paper, we investigate a restricted version of Bergman kernels for high powers of a big line bundle over a smooth projective variety. The geometric meaning of the leading term is specified. As a byproduct, we derive some integral…
On a complete non-compact Riemannian manifold satisfying the volume doubling property, we give conditions on the negative part of the Ricci curvature that ensure that, unless there are harmonic one-forms, the Gaussian heat kernel upper…
We consider a quantum graph where the operator contains a potential. We show that this operator admits a heat kernel. Under some assumptions on the potential, this heat kernel admits an asymptotic expansion at t=0 with coefficients that…
We analyze the spectra of general non-minimal second-order operators. To do this, we derive the local part of the trace of the second Seeley-DeWitt heat kernel coefficient for such operators in a completely model-independent way.…
We obtain an upper heat kernel bound for the Laplacian on metric graphs arising as one skeletons of certain polygonal tilings of the plane, which reflects the one dimensional as well as the two dimensional nature of these graphs.
In this thesis we describe a type of metric space called an Euclidean polyhedral complex. We define a Dirichlet form on it; this is used to give a corresponding heat kernel. We provide a uniform small time Poincare inequality for complexes…
We give local in time sharp two sided estimates of the heat kernel associated with the relativistic stable operator perturbed by a critical (Hardy) potential.
We present a brief overview of several approaches for calculating the local asymptotic expansion of the heat kernel for Laplace-type operators. The different methods developed in the papers of both authors some time ago are described in…
