In this note, we look at some hypoelliptic operators arising from nilpotent rank 2 Lie algebras. In particular, we concentrate on the diffusion generated by three Brownian motions and their three L\'evy areas, which is the simplest…
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 prove a bound on the heat trace of the Neumann Laplacian on a convex domain that captures the first two terms in its small-time expansion, but is valid for all times and depends on the underlying domain only through very simple geometric…
We provide an elementary proof of the support of the law of a hypoelliptic Brownian motion on the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}$. We consider a control norm associated to left-invariant vector fields on $\mathbb{H}$, and describe the support…
We prove several functional and geometric inequalities only assuming the linearity and a quantitative $\mathrm{L}^\infty$-to-Lipschitz smoothing of the heat semigroup in metric-measure spaces. Our results comprise a Buser inequality, a…
We propose a novel approach for studying small-time asymptotics of the fractional heat content of $C^2$ non-characteristic domains in Carnot groups. Denoting the sub-Laplacian operator by $\mathcal{L}$, the fractional heat content of a…
We study heat kernel measures on sub-Riemannian infinite-dimensional Heisenberg-like Lie groups. In particular, we show that Cameron-Martin type quasi-invariance results hold in this subelliptic setting and give $L^p$-estimates for the…
We give large-time asymptotic estimates, both in uniform and $L^1$ norms, for solutions of the Dirichlet heat equation in the complement of a bounded open set of $\mathbb{R}^d$ satisfying certain technical assumptions. We always assume that…
We analyze the heat kernel associated to the Laplacian on a compact metric graph, with standard Kirchoff-Neumann vertex conditions. An explicit formula for the heat kernel as a sum over loops, developed by Roth and Kostrykin, Potthoff, and…
In this note, we obtain the asymptotic estimate for the time derivative of the $\Phi$-entropy in terms of the lower bound on the Bakry-Emery $\Gamma_2$ curvature. In the cases of Hyperbolic space and Heisenberg group, we show that the time…
We establish small-time asymptotic expansions for heat kernels of hypoelliptic H\"ormander operators in a neighborhood of the diagonal, generalizing former results obtained in particular by M\'etivier and by Ben Arous. The coefficients of…
We obtain upper bounds on the heat content and on the torsional rigidity of a complete Riemannian manifold M, assuming a generalized Hardy inequality for the Dirichlet Laplacian on M.
We show that, under a natural scaling, the small-time behavior of the logarithmic derivatives of the subelliptic heat kernel on $SU(2)$ converges to their analogues on the Heisenberg group at time 1. Realizing $SU(2)$ as $\mathbb{S}^3$, we…
