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+…

Let G be a possibly disconnected reductive real Lie group. In this paper, I parametrize the set of irreductible tempered characters of G. I then describe these characters using certain ``Kirillov's formulas,'' based on the descent method…

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.

For Riemannian symmetric spaces $X=G/K$ of noncompact type, we show that for all left $K$-invariant $f\in L^1(X)$, the functions $\|h_t\|_{L^p(X)}^{-1}(f\ast h_t-M_p(f)h_t)$ (with $h_t$ being the heat kernel of $X$) converges to zero in…
