In this paper we investigate estimates about the Laplace operator in heat flows of harmonic maps, focusing outside the singularities through spherical coordinates. These estimates can be used in the general Ericksen--Leslie system to obtain…
In this paper we develop the parametrix approach for constructing the heat kernel on a graph $G$. In particular, we highlight two specific cases. First, we consider the case when $G$ is embedded in a Eulidean domain or manifold $\Omega$,…

In this thesis, we analyze the stochastic completeness of a heat kernel on graphs which is a function of three variables: a pair of vertices and a continuous time, for infinite, locally finite, connected graphs. For general graphs, a…
In this paper we study left-invariant Laplacians on compact connected groups that are form-comparable perturbations of bi-invariant Laplacians. Our results show that Gaussian bounds for derivatives of heat kernels enjoyed by certain…

This paper studies by means of standard analytic tools the small time behavior of the heat content over a bounded Lebesgue measurable set of finite perimeter by working with the set covariance function and by imposing conditions on the heat…
We study a discrete Laplace operator $\Delta$ on percolation subgraphs of an infinite graph. The ball volume is assumed to grow at most polynomially. We are interested in the behavior of the integrated density of states near the lower…
We consider local singular perturbations of a one-dimensional Laplace operator from the point of view of semigroup theory. Under certain assumptions, we prove the convergence of the corresponding semigroups to the heat semigroup with…
We introduce and develop a theory of limits for sequences of sparse graphs based on $L^p$ graphons, which generalizes both the existing $L^\infty$ theory of dense graph limits and its extension by Bollob\'as and Riordan to sparse graphs…
Let $\Delta$ be the Laplace--Beltrami operator acting on a non-doubling manifold with two ends $\mathbb R^m \sharp \mathcal R^n$ with $m > n \ge 3$. Let $\frak{h}_t(x,y)$ be the kernels of the semigroup $e^{-t\Delta}$ generated by $\Delta$.…
We present a simple observation showing that the heat kernel on a locally finite graph behaves for short times $t$ roughly like $t^d$, where $d$ is the combinatorial distance. This is very different from the classical Varadhan type behavior…
We introduce a sub-Riemannian analogue of the Bence-Merriman-Osher diffusion driven algorithm and show that it leads to weak solutions of the horizontal mean curvature flow of graphs over sub-Riemannian Carnot groups. The proof follows the…
We consider heat kernel for higher-order operators with constant coefficients in $d$-dimensio\-nal Euclidean space and its asymptotic behavior. For arbitrary operators which are invariant with respect to $O(d)$-rotations we obtain exact…
