We get a generalization of Krein's formula -which relates the resolvents of different selfadjoint extensions of a differential operator with regular coefficients- to the non-regular case $A=-\partial_x^2+(\nu^2-1/4)/x^2+V(x)$, where…

We obtain pointwise lower bounds for heat kernels of higher order differential operators with Dirichlet boundary conditions on bounded domains in $\R^N$. The bounds exhibit explicitly the nature of the spatial decay of the heat kernel close…

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…

Bounds on the logarithmic derivatives of the heat kernel on a compact Riemannian manifolds have been long known, and were recently extended, for the log-gradient and log-Hessian, to general complete Riemannian manifolds. Here, we further…

We consider the asymptotic expansion of the heat kernel of a generalized Laplacian for $t\to 0^+$ and characterize the coefficients $a_k$ of this expansion by a natural intertwining property. In particular we will give a closed formula for…

We consider the heat equation $u_t=Lu$ where $L$ is a second-order difference operator in a discrete variable $n$. The fundamental solution has an expansion in terms of the Bessel functions of imaginary argument. The coefficients…

The aim of this paper is to construct (explicit) heat kernels for some hybrid evolution equations which arise in physics, conformal geometry and subelliptic PDEs. Hybrid means that the relevant partial differential operator appears in the…

In this paper we analyze the heat kernel of the equation $\partial_tv =\pm\mathcal{L} v$, where $\mathcal{L}=\partial_x^N+u_{N-2}(x)\partial_x^{N-2}+\cdots+u_0(x)$ is an $N$-th order differential operator and the $\pm$ sign on the…

By making use of the potentials of the heat conduction equation the integral equations are derived which determine the heat kernel for the Laplace operator $-a^2\Delta$ in the case of compound media. In each of the media the parameter $a^2$…

Let us consider a time-dependent differential operator quadratic with respect to the phase variables. Let us consider a multiplication operator defined with the help of a "small" matrix-valued function. Under suitable conditions, we give an…

We establish small-time asymptotic expansions for heat kernels of hypoelliptic H\"ormander operators in a neighborhood of the diagonal, generalizing former results obtained in particular by M\'etivier and by Ben Arous. The coefficients of…

The generator of time-translations on the solution space of the wave equation on stationary spacetimes specialises to the square root of the Laplacian on Riemannian manifolds when the spacetime is ultrastatic. Its spectral analysis…

We present a very quick and powerful method for the calculation of heat-kernel coefficients. It makes use of rather common ideas, as integral representations of the spectral sum, Mellin transforms, non-trivial commutation of series and…

We investigate the short-time expansion of the heat kernel of a Laplace type operator on a compact Riemannian manifold and show that the lowest order term of this expansion is given by the Fredholm determinant of the Hessian of the energy…

The paper is devoted to a local heat kernel, which is a special part of the standard heat kernel. Locality means that all considerations are produced in an open convex set of a smooth Riemannian manifold. We study such properties and…

We construct and estimate the fundamental solution of highly anisotropic space-inhomogeneous integro-differential operators. We use the Levi method. We give applications to the Cauchy problem for such operators.

The formulation of gauge theories on compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary leads to partial differential operators with Gilkey--Smith boundary conditions, whose peculiar property is the occurrence of both normal and tangential…

We prove sharp pointwise heat kernel estimates for symmetric Markov processes associated with symmetric Dirichlet forms that are local with respect to some coordinates and nonlocal with respect to the remaining coordinates. The main theorem…

We construct the heat kernel on curvilinear polygonal domains in arbitrary surfaces for Dirichlet, Neumann, and Robin boundary conditions as well as mixed problems, including those of Zaremba type. We compute the short time asymptotic…
