We prove upper and lower bounds of the heat kernel for the operator $\Delta-\nabla (\frac{1}{|x|^{\alpha}})\cdot \nabla $ in $\mathbb{R}^{n}\setminus\{0} $ where $\alpha >0$. We obtain these bounds from an isoperimetric inequality for a…

We prove logarithmic Sobolev inequalities for semi-direct product operators (see definition in Section 1). We apply our main results to examples of operators and provide some applications to ultracontractive bounds of semigroups. Hardy's…

We consider operators of the form ${\mathcal L}=-L-V$, where $L$ is an elliptic operator and $V$ is a singular potential, defined on a smooth bounded domain $\Omega\subset \R^n$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We allow the boundary of…

We prove an intrinsic equivalence between strong hypercontractivity and a strong logarithmic Sobolev inequality for the cone of logarithmically subharmonic functions. We introduce a new large class of measures, Euclidean regular and…

In this paper we prove that the heat kernel $k$ associated to the operator $A:= (1+|x|^\alpha)\Delta +b|x|^{\alpha-1}\frac{x}{|x|}\cdot\nabla -|x|^\beta$ satisfies $$ k(t,x,y) \leq c_1e^{\lambda_0 t+…

We study inequalities related to the heat kernel for the hypoelliptic sublaplacian on an H-type Lie group. Specifically, we obtain precise pointwise upper and lower bounds on the heat kernel function itself. We then apply these bounds to…

In this paper, we derive Li-Yau inequality for unbounded Laplacian on complete weighted graphs with the assumption of the curvature-dimension inequality $CDE'(n,K)$, which can be regarded as a notion of curvature on graphs. Furthermore, we…

We give a proof of Gaussian upper bound for the heat kernel coupled with the Ricci ow. Previous proofs by Lei Ni [5] use Harnack inequality and doubling volume property, also the recent proof by Zhang and Cao [6] uses Sobolev type…

The purpose of this paper is to establish a new continuous-time on-diagonal lower estimate of heat kernel for large time on graphs. To achieve the goal, we first give an upper bound of heat kernel in natural graph metric, and then use this…
