In this note, we concentrate on the sub-Laplace on the nilpotent Lie group of rank two, which is the infinitesimal generator of the diffusion generated by $n$ Brownian motions and their $\frac{n(n-1)}2$ L\'evy area processes, which is the…

We prove the following gradient inequality for the subelliptic heat kernel on nilpotent Lie groups $G$ of H-type: $$|\nabla P_t f| \le K P_t(|\nabla f|)$$ where $P_t$ is the heat semigroup corresponding to the sublaplacian on $G$, $\nabla$…

We study the relationship between the geometry and the Laplace spectrum of a Riemannian orbifold O via its heat kernel; as in the manifold case, the time-zero asymptotic expansion of the heat kernel furnishes geometric information about O.…

Let $(X,d)$ be a proper ultrametric space. Given a measure $m$ on $X$ and a function $B \mapsto C(B)$ defined on the collection of all non-singleton balls $B$ of $X$, we consider the associated hierarchical Laplacian $L=L_{C}\,$. The…

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,…

This work provides an extension of parts of the classical finite dimensional sub-elliptic theory in the context of infinite dimensional compact connected metrizable groups. Given a well understood and well behaved bi-invariant Laplacian,…

We give sharp asymptotic estimates at infinity of all radial partial derivatives of the heat kernel on H-type groups. As an application, we give a new proof of the discreteness of the spectrum of some natural sub-Riemannian…

The heat kernel expansion for a general non--minimal operator on the spaces $C^\infty (\Lambda^k)$ and $C^\infty (\Lambda^{p,q})$ is studied. The coefficients of the heat kernel asymptotics for this operator are expressed in terms of the…

In the uniformly discrete case of virtual persistence diagram groups $K(X,A)$, we construct a translation-invariant heat semigroup. The kernels are supported on a countable subgroup $H$, and the restriction to $H$ has Fourier exponent…
