The general covariance of the diffusion equation is exploited in order to explore the curvature effects appearing on brownian motion over a d-dimensional curved manifold. We use the local frame defined by the so called Riemann normal…
We study the long-time behaviour of nonnegative solutions of the Porous Medium Equation posed on Cartan-Hadamard manifolds having very large negative curvature, more precisely when the sectional or Ricci curvatures diverge at infinity more…
We study the rate of concentration of a Brownian bridge in time one around the corresponding geodesical segment on a Cartan-Hadamard manifold with pinched negative sectional curvature, when the distance between the two extremities tends to…
By using Hsu's multiplicative functional for the Neumann heat equation, a natural damped gradient operator is defined for the reflecting Brownian motion on compact manifolds with boundary. This operator is linked to quasi-invariant flows in…
De Sitter space-time, essentially our own universe, is plagued by problems at the quantum level. Here we propose that Lorentzian de Sitter space-time is not fundamental but constitutes only an effective description of a more fundamental…
We prove several functional and geometric inequalities only assuming the linearity and a quantitative $\mathrm{L}^\infty$-to-Lipschitz smoothing of the heat semigroup in metric-measure spaces. Our results comprise a Buser inequality, a…
We give time-slicing path integral formulas for solutions to the heat equation corresponding to a self-adjoint Laplace type operator acting on sections of a vector bundle over a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary. More specifically,…
We consider nonnegative solutions of the porous medium equation (PME) on a Cartan-Hadamard manifold whose negative curvature can be unbounded. We take compactly supported initial data because we are also interested in free boundaries. We…
On a large class of Riemannian manifolds with boundary, some dimension-free Harnack inequalities for the Neumann semigroup is proved to be equivalent to the convexity of the boundary and a curvature condition. In particular, for $p_t(x,y)$…
Upper bounds are obtained for the heat content of an open set D in a geodesically complete Riemannian manifold M with Dirichlet boundary condition on bd(D), and non-negative initial condition. We show that these upper bounds are close to…
We prove second and fourth order improved Poincar\'e type inequalities on the hyperbolic space involving Hardy-type remainder terms. Since theirs l.h.s. only involve the radial part of the gradient or of the laplacian, they can be seen as…
We prove on-diagonal bounds for the heat kernel of the Dirichlet Laplacian $-\Delta^D_\Omega$ in locally twisted three-dimensional tubes $\Omega$. In particular, we show that for any fixed $x$ the heat kernel decays for large times as…
Three inverse boundary value problems for the heat equations in one space dimension are considered. Those three problems are: extracting an unknown interface in a heat conductive material, an unknown boundary in a layered material or a…
We establish an estimate for the fundamental solution of the heat equation on a closed Riemannian manifold $M$ of dimension at least 3, evolving under the Ricci flow. The estimate depends on some constants arising from a Sobolev imbedding…
We consider the heat equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions on the tubular neighborhood of a closed Riemannian submanifold. We show that, as the tube diameter tends to zero, a suitably rescaled and renormalized semigroup converges to a…
We study the geometrical influence on the Brownian motion over curved manifolds. We focus on the following intriguing question: what observables are appropriated to measure Brownian motion in curved manifolds? In particular, for those…
We introduce a class of non-commutative Heisenberg like infinite dimensional Lie groups based on an abstract Wiener space. The Ricci curvature tensor for these groups is computed and shown to be bounded. Brownian motion and the…
We examine various density results related to the solutions of the non-local heat equation at a specific time slice, focusing on two distinct models: one with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition and the other with singular boundary…
We construct Dyson Brownian motion for $\beta \in (0,\infty]$ by adapting the extrinsic construction of Brownian motion on Riemannian manifolds to the geometry of group orbits within the space of Hermitian matrices. When $\beta$ is…
We consider a notion of conservation for the heat semigroup associated to a generalized Dirac Laplacian acting on sections of a vector bundle over a noncompact manifold with a (possibly noncompact) boundary under mixed boundary conditions.…
