We show that geometric inference of a point cloud can be calculated by examining its kernel density estimate with a Gaussian kernel. This allows one to consider kernel density estimates, which are robust to spatial noise, subsampling, and…

We analyze the asymptotic behaviour of the heat kernel defined by a stochastically perturbed geodesic flow on the cotangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold for small time and small diffusion parameter. This extends WKB-type methods to a…
The heat kernel method is extended to the case of finite temperature. Special emphasis is given to the study of gauge theories. Due to the compactness of space in the Euclidean time direction (inverse temperature) the field strength cannot…

One considers the class of complete non-compact Riemannian manifolds whose heat kernel satisfies Gaussian estimates from above and below. One shows that the Riesz transform is $L^p$ bounded on such a manifold, for $p$ ranging in an open…

We consider heat kernels on Weyl chambers corresponding to Laplacians subject to mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions imposed on the boundary. Using purely analytic tools we prove genuinely sharp two-sided global estimates in the…
We prove genuinely sharp two-sided global estimates for heat kernels on all compact rank-one symmetric spaces. This generalizes the authors' recent result obtained for a Euclidean sphere of arbitrary dimension. Furthermore, similar heat…
The main goal of this paper is to generalize the Sobolev-type inequalities given by Guo-Phong-Song-Sturm and Guedj-T\^o from the case of functions to the framework of twisted differential forms. To this end, we establish certain estimates…
In a previous paper we have presented a general formalism for computing Feynman diagrams for scalar fields in curved spacetime at any loop order using heat kernel methods. The main technique used is the expansion of the fully off-diagonal…
We study strong ratio limit properties of the quotients of the heat kernels of subcritical and critical operators which are defined on a noncompact Riemannian manifold.
We give pointwise upper estimate for the gradient of the heat kernel on some fractal-like cable systems including the Vicsek and the Sierpi\'nski cable systems. Applications to $L^p$-boundedness of quasi-Riesz transforms are derived.
