The heat kernel expansion on even-dimensional hyperbolic spaces is asymptotic at both short and long times, with interestingly different Borel properties for these short and long time expansions. Resummations in terms of incomplete gamma…
In this paper we provide the small-time heat kernel asymptotics at the cut locus in three relevant cases: generic low-dimensional Riemannian manifolds, generic 3D contact sub-Riemannian manifolds (close to the starting point) and generic 4D…
In this note we apply heat kernels to derive some localization formula in sympletcic geometry, to study moduli spaces of flat connections on a Riemann surface, to obtain the push-forward measures for certain maps between Lie groups and to…
The paper is devoted to a local heat kernel, which is a special part of the standard heat kernel. Locality means that all considerations are produced in an open convex set of a smooth Riemannian manifold. We study such properties and…
A diagramatic heat kernel expansion technique is presented. The method is especially well suited to the small-derivative expansion of the heat kernel, but it can also be used to reproduce the results obtained by the approach known as…

In this survey article, we review the relation between heat kernels and path integrals. In particular, we review recent results on the approximation of the Wiener measure on compact manifold by measures on (finite-dimensional) spaces of…
Using a new inequality relating the heat kernel and the probability of survival, we prove asymptotic ratio limit theorems for the heat kernel (and survival probability) in general Benedicks domains. In particular, the dimension of the cone…
We obtain the asymptotic expansion of the solutions of some anisotropic heat equations when the initial data belong to polynomially weighted Lp-spaces. We mainly address two model examples. In the first one, the diffusivity is of order two…
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…
The Zaremba boundary-value problem is a boundary value problem for Laplace-type second-order partial differential operators acting on smooth sections of a vector bundle over a smooth compact Riemannian manifold with smooth boundary but with…
We present a formalism for computing arbitrary multi-loop Feynman graphs in curved spacetime using the heat kernel approach. To this end, we compute the off-diagonal components of the heat kernel in Riemann normal coordinates up to second…
The relative heat content associated with a subset $\Omega\subset M$ of a sub-Riemannian manifold, is defined as the total amount of heat contained in $\Omega$ at time $t$, with uniform initial condition on $\Omega$, allowing the heat to…
We obtain two-sided heat kernel estimates for Riemannian manifolds with ends with mixed boundary condition, provided that the heat kernels for the ends are well understood. These results extend previous results of Grigor'yan and…
By adapting a technique of Molchanov, we obtain the heat kernel asymptotics at the sub-Riemannian cut locus, when the cut points are reached by an $r$-dimensional parametric family of optimal geodesics. We apply these results to the…
Let $J$ be the L\'evy density of a symmetric L\'evy process in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with its L\'evy exponent satisfying a weak lower scaling condition at infinity. Consider the non-symmetric and non-local operator $$ {\mathcal L}^{\kappa}f(x):=…
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…
The purpose of this article is to establish upper and lower estimates for the integral kernel of the semigroup exp(-tP) associated to a classical, strongly elliptic pseudodifferential operator P of positive order on a closed manifold. The…
