In this note, we look at some hypoelliptic operators arising from nilpotent rank 2 Lie algebras. In particular, we concentrate on the diffusion generated by three Brownian motions and their three L\'evy areas, which is the simplest…

Let $L = -{\rm div}( A(x) \cdot \nabla ) + V(x)$ be a second-order uniformly elliptic operator on $\mathbb{ R }^{n}$ $(n\geq 3)$, where $A(x)$ is a real symmetric matrix satisfying standard ellipticity conditions, and $V$ is a nonnegative…

In this note we establish the large time non-negativity of the heat kernel for a class of elliptic differential operators on closed, Riemannian manifolds, and apply this result to a problem from conformal differential geometry.

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…

The heat kernel for the Cauchy-Riemann subLaplacian on S(2n+1) is derived in a manner which is completely analogous to the classical derivation of elliptic heat kernels. This suggests that the classical hamiltonian construction of elliptic…

Let $\alpha\in(0,2)$ and $d\in{\mathbb N}$. Consider the following SDE in ${\mathbb R}^d$:$${\rm d}X_t=b(t,X_t){\rm d} t+a(t,X_{t-}){\rm d} L^{(\alpha)}_t,\ \ X_0=x,$$where $L^{(\alpha)}$ is a $d$-dimensional rotationally invariant…

We obtain Sobolev inequalities for the Schrodinger operator -\Delta-V, where V has critical behaviour V(x)=((N-2)/2)^2|x|^{-2} near the origin. We apply these inequalities to obtain pointwise estimates on the associated heat kernel,…

In his celebrated article, Aronson established Gaussian bounds for the fundamental solution to the Cauchy problem governed by a second order divergence form operator with uniformly elliptic coefficients. We extend Aronson's proof of upper…

We characterize functions $V\le 0$ for which the heat kernel of the Schr\"o\-dinger operator $\Delta+V$ is comparable with the Gauss-Weierstrass kernel uniformly in space and time. In dimension $4$ and higher the condition turns out to be…
