We obtain an upper heat kernel bound for the Laplacian on metric graphs arising as one skeletons of certain polygonal tilings of the plane, which reflects the one dimensional as well as the two dimensional nature of these graphs.

We construct the heat kernel on curvilinear polygonal domains in arbitrary surfaces for Dirichlet, Neumann, and Robin boundary conditions as well as mixed problems, including those of Zaremba type. We compute the short time asymptotic…

We use the heat kernel (on differential forms) on a compact Riemannian manifold to assign a real number to a k-tuple of cycles on the manifold satisfying certain conditions. If k is 2, this number is the ordinary topological linking number,…

I review certain results in harmonic analysis for systems whose configuration space is a compact Lie group. The results described involve a heat kernel measure, which plays the same role as a Gaussian measure on Euclidean space. The main…
