Let $H_h = h^2 L +V$ where $L$ is a self-adjoint Laplace type operator acting on sections of a vector bundle over a compact Riemannian manifold and $V$ is a symmetric endomorphism field. We derive an asymptotic expansion for the heat kernel…
For Riemannian symmetric spaces $X=G/K$ of noncompact type, we show that for all left $K$-invariant $f\in L^1(X)$, the functions $\|h_t\|_{L^p(X)}^{-1}(f\ast h_t-M_p(f)h_t)$ (with $h_t$ being the heat kernel of $X$) converges to zero in…
In this paper, we observe how the heat equation in a non-cylindrical domain can arise as the asymptotic limit of a parabolic problem in a cylindrical domain, by adding a potential that vanishes outside the limit domain. This can be seen as…
We study the Emden-Fowler equation $-\Delta u=|u|^{p-1}u$ on the hyperbolic space ${\mathbb H}^n$. We are interested in radial solutions, namely solutions depending only on the geodesic distance from a given point. The critical exponent for…
In this paper, we investigate the long-time structure of the heat kernel on a Riemannian manifold M which is asymptotically conic near infinity. Using geometric microlocal analysis and building on results of Guillarmou and Hassell on the…

The quantization of gauge fields and gravitation on manifolds with boundary makes it necessary to study boundary conditions which involve both normal and tangential derivatives of the quantized field. The resulting one-loop divergences can…

This paper is concerned with the Poisson and heat equations on spaces of constant curvature. More explicitly we provide new methods for obtaining old and new explicit formulas for the Poisson and heat semigroups on the Euclidean, spherical…
Standard thermodynamic treatments of quantum field theory in the presence of black-hole backgrounds reproduce the black hole entropy by usually specializing to the leading order of the heat-kernel or the high-temperature expansion. By…
We construct asymptotically self-similar global solutions to the Hardy-H\'enon parabolic equation $\partial_t u - \Delta u = \pm |x|^{\gamma} |u|^{\alpha-1} u$, $\alpha>1$, $\gamma \in \mathbb{R}$ for a large class of initial data belonging…
