In the first part of this paper, we get new Li-Yau type gradient estimates for positive solutions of heat equation on Riemmannian manifolds with $Ricci(M)\ge -k$, $k\in \mathbb R$. As applications, several parabolic Harnack inequalities are…
This paper aims at proving the local boundedness and continuity of solutions of the heat equation in the context of Dirichlet spaces under some rather weak additional assumptions. We consider symmetric local regular Dirichlet forms which…
Asymptotic behavior of solutions to heat equations with spatially singular inverse-square potentials is studied. By combining a parabolic Almgren type monotonicity formula with blow-up methods, we evaluate the exact behavior near the…
We study the low-energy approximation for calculation of the heat kernel which is determined by the strong slowly varying background fields in strongly curved quasi-homogeneous manifolds. A new covariant algebraic approach, based on taking…

The purpose of this article is to expose an algebraic closure property of supersolutions to certain diffusion equations. This closure property quickly gives rise to a monotone quantity which generates a hypercontractivity inequality. Our…
We present a universal thermodynamic framework for quantum systems that may be strongly coupled to thermal environments. Unlike previous approaches, our method enables a clear definition of thermostatic properties while preserving the same…
Gradient inequalities of the Hamilton type and the Li-Yau type for positive solutions to the heat equation are established from a probabilistic viewpoint, which simplifies the proofs of some results of Sun [{\it Pacific J. Math.}, 253…
We study monotonicity and 1-dimensional symmetry for positive solutions with algebraic growth of the following elliptic system: \[ \begin{cases} -\Delta u = -u v^2 & \text{in $\R^N$}\\ -\Delta v= -u^2 v & \text{in $\R^N$}, \end{cases} \]…
This paper first proposes a new approximate scheme to construct a harmonic heat flow $u$ between a parabolic cylinder to a sphere. Y.Chen and M.Struwe have proved an existence and discussed a partial regularity of harmonic heat flows by…
In this manuscript, we provide local $L^q$-estimates for the gradient of solutions of a class of quasilinear equations whose principal part lacks strong monotonicity. These estimates are used to establish uniform large-scale $L^q$-estimates…
This paper is devoted to the homogenization of the heat conduction equation, with a homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition, having a periodically oscillating thermal conductivity and a vanishing volumetric heat capacity. A homogenization…
We study the Cauchy problem for the fractional semilinear heat equation with distributional inhomogeneous terms. By introducing the Lorentz--Morrey spaces, we overcome limitations of real interpolation in the classical local Morrey spaces…
We give a sufficient condition for existence of an exponential dichotomy for a general linear dynamical system (not necessarily invertible) in a Banach space, in discrete or continuous time. We provide applications to the backward heat…
We prove matrix Li-Yau-Hamilton estimates for positive solutions to the heat equation and the backward conjugate heat equation, both coupled with the K\"ahler-Ricci flow. As an application, we obtain a monotonicity formula.
Dualities are hidden symmetries that map seemingly unrelated physical systems onto each other. The goal of this work is to systematically construct families of Hamiltonians endowed with a given duality and to provide a universal description…
