The paper deals with point-wise estimates for the heat kernel of a nonlocal convolution type operator with a kernel that decays at least exponentially at infinity. It is shown that the large time behaviour of the heat kernel depends…

We derive all heat kernel coefficients for Laplacians acting on scalars, vectors, and tensors on fully symmetric spaces, in any dimension. Final expressions are easy to evaluate and implement, and confirmed independently using spectral sums…

We develop a complete theory of non-formal deformation quantization exhibiting a nonzero minimal uncertainty in position. An appropriate integral formula for the star-product is introduced together with a suitable space of functions on…

We generalise the Atiyah-Segal-Singer fixed point theorem to noncompact manifolds. Using $KK$-theory, we extend the equivariant index to the noncompact setting, and obtain a fixed point formula for it. The fixed point formula is the…

Let $\mathbb B$ be a Lie group admitting a left-invariant negatively curved K\"ahlerian structure. Consider a strongly continuous action $\alpha$ of $\mathbb B$ on a Fr\'echet algebra $\mathcal A$. Denote by $\mathcal A^\infty$ the…

The aim of this article is to establish two-sided Gaussian bounds for the heat kernels on the unit ball and simplex in $\mathbb{R}^n$, and in particular on the interval, generated by classical differential operators whose eigenfunctions are…

We present a simple geometric construction linking geometric to deformation quantization. Both theories depend on some apparently arbitrary parameters, most importantly a polarization and a symplectic connection, and for real polarizations…

The calculation of heat-kernel coefficients with the classical DeWitt algorithm has been discussed. We present the explicit form of the coefficients up to $h_5$ in the general case and up to $h_7^{min}$ for the minimal parts. The results…

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 will discuss what it means for a general heat kernel on a metric measure space to be local. We show that the Wiener measure associated to Brownian motion is local. Next we show that locality of the Wiener measure plus a suitable decay…

A thermal spectrum is often taken as a signature that the emitted probe has reached detailed balance with the surrounding medium. We show that this interpretation is not generally valid by studying how the microscopic emission kernel…
