We introduce a H\"older regularity condition for harmonic functions on metric measure spaces and prove that, under a slow volume regular condition and an upper heat kernel estimate, the H\"older regularity condition, the weak Bakry-\'Emery…
We consider the semilinear heat equation $u_t=\Delta u+u^p$ on ${\mathbb R}^N$. Assuming that $N\ge 3$ and $p$ is greater than the Sobolev critical exponent $(N+2)/(N-2)$, we examine entire solutions (classical solutions defined for all…
We establish precise upper and lower bounds for the subelliptic heat kernel on nilpotent Lie groups $G$ of H-type. Specifically, we show that there exist positive constants $C_1$, $C_2$ and a polynomial correction function $Q_t$ on $G$ such…
The heat kernel method is extended to the case of finite temperature. Special emphasis is given to the study of gauge theories. Due to the compactness of space in the Euclidean time direction (inverse temperature) the field strength cannot…
Given a domain $\Omega$ of a complete Riemannian manifold $\mathcal{M}$ and define $\mathcal{A}$ to be the Laplacian with Neumann boundary condition on $\Omega$. We prove that, under appropriate conditions, the corresponding heat kernel…
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…
Let $H=-\Delta+V$ be a Schr\"odinger operator on $\mathbb{R}^n$. We show that gradient estimates for the heat kernel of $H$ with upper Gaussian bounds imply polynomial decay for the kernels of certain smooth dyadic spectral operators. The…
We prove a perturbation result for positive semigroups, thereby extending a heat kernel estimate by Barlow, Grigor'yan and Kumagai for Dirichlet forms (\cite{bgk2009}) to positive semigroups. This also leads to a generalization of…
We give new sufficient conditions for comparability of the fundamental solution of the Schr\"odinger equation $\partial_t=\Delta+V$ with the Gauss-Weierstrass kernel and show that local $L^p$ integrability of $V$ for $p> 1$ is not necessary…
We study the boundedness of Riesz transforms in $L^p$ for $p>2$ on a doubling metric measure space endowed with a gradient operator and an injective, $\omega$-accretive operator $L$ satisfying Davies-Gaffney estimates. If $L$ is…
We treat the Witten operator on the de Rham complex with semiclassical heat kernel methods to derive the Poincar\'e-Hopf theorem and degenerate generalizations of it. Thereby, we see how the semiclassical asymptotics of the Witten heat…
Nash and Sobolev inequalities are known to be equivalent to ultracontractive properties of heat-like Markov semigroups, hence to uniform on-diagonal bounds on their kernel densities. In non ultracontractive settings, such bounds can not…
For incomplete sub-Riemannian manifolds, and for an associated second-order hypoelliptic operator, which need not be symmetric, we identify two alternative conditions for the validity of Gaussian-type upper bounds on heat kernels and…
We give a simple proof of a lower bound for the Dirichlet heat kernel in terms of the Gaussian heat kernel. Using this we establish a non-existence result for semilinear heat equations with zero Dirichlet boundary conditions and initial…
In this paper, we obtain an explicit formula for the heat kernel on the infinite Cayley graph of the modular group $\operatorname{PSL}_2\mathbb{Z}$, given by the presentation $\langle a,b\mid a^2=1, b^3=1\rangle$. Our approach extends the…
We prove $L^{p}$ and weighted $L^{p}$ estimates for bounded functions of a selfadjoint operator satisfying both a pointwise gaussian estimate for its heat kernel and a finite speed of propagation property. As an application, we obtain…
We prove that the noncommutative Lorentz norm (associated to a semifinite von Neumann algebra) of a propagator of the form $\varphi(|\mathscr{L}|)$ can be estimated if the modulus of the Borel function $\varphi$ is bounded by a continuous…
We carry out the construction of some ill-posed multiplicative stochastic heat equations on unbounded domains. The two main equations our result covers are, on the one hand the parabolic Anderson model on $\mathbf{R}^3$, and on the other…
We study some function-theoretic properties on a complete smooth metric measure space $(M,g,e^{-f}dv)$ with Bakry-\'{E}mery Ricci curvature bounded from below. We derive a Moser's parabolic Harnack inequality for the $f$-heat equation,…
