We show that, on a complete, connected and non-compact Riemannian manifold of non-negative Ricci curvature, the solution to the heat equation with $L^{1}$ initial data behaves asymptotically as the mass times the heat kernel. In contrast to…
We provide general lower and upper bounds for Laplace Dirichlet heat kernel of convex $\mathcal C^{1,1}$ domains. The obtained estimates precisely describe the exponential behaviour of the kernels, which has been known only in a few special…
We consider a quantum generalization of the classical heat equation, and study contractivity properties of its associated semigroup. We prove a Nash inequality and a logarithmic Sobolev inequality. The former leads to an ultracontractivity…
We prove Poisson upper bounds for the kernel $K$ of the semigroup generated by the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator if the underlying domain is bounded and has a $C^\infty$-boundary. We also prove Poisson bounds for $K_z$ for all $z$ in the…

In this paper, we study a subelliptic heat kernel on the Lie group SL(2,R) and on its universal covering. The subelliptic structure on SL(2,R) comes from the fibration $SO(2) -> SL(2,R) -> H^2$ and it can be lifted to its universal…
This work introduces novel numerical algorithms for computational quantum mechanics, grounded in a representation of the Laplace operator -- frequently used to model kinetic energy in quantum systems -- via the heat semigroup. The key…
The first heat kernel coefficients are calculated for a dispersive ball whose permittivity at high frequency differs from unity by inverse powers of the frequency. The corresponding divergent part of the vacuum energy of the electromagnetic…
Dilations of completely positive semigroups to endomorphism semigroups have been studied by numerous authors. Most existing dilation theorems involve a non-unital embedding, corresponding to the embedding of $B(H)$ as a corner of $B(K)$ for…
For a given positive integer $m$, the concept of hyperdeterminantal total positivity is defined for a kernel $K\colon {\mathbb R}^{2m} \to {\mathbb R}$, thereby generalizing the classical concept of total positivity. Extending the…
We propose the multiple reflection expansion as a tool for the calculation of heat kernel coefficients. As an example, we give the coefficients for a sphere as a finite sum over reflections, obtaining as a byproduct a relation between the…
We provide a new characterization of homogeneous Besov and Sobolev spaces in Carnot groups using the fractional heat kernel and Poisson kernel. We apply our results to study commutators involving fractional powers of the sub-Laplacian.
In the first part, we derive a sharp gradient estimate for the log of Dirichlet heat kernel and Poisson heat kernel on domains, and a sharpened local Li-Yau gradient estimate that matches the global one. In the second part, without explicit…
For $d\ge 2$ and $0<\beta<\alpha<2$, consider a family of non-local operators $\mathcal{L}^{b}=\Delta^{\alpha/2}+\mathcal{S}^{b}$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$, where $$ \mathcal{S}^{b}f(x):=\lim_{\varepsilon\to 0}\mathcal{A}(d,-\beta)\int_{ \{z\in…
