The aim of this paper is threefold. First, we obtain the precise bounds for the heat kernel on isotropic Heisenberg groups by using well-known results in the three dimensional case. Second, we study the asymptotic estimates at infinity for…

We describe the small-time heat kernel asymptotics of real powers $\Delta^r$, $r \in (0,1)$ of a non-negative self-adjoint generalized Laplacian $\Delta$ acting on the sections of a hermitian vector bundle $\mathcal E$ over a closed…

It is known that the couple formed by the two dimensional Brownian motion and its L\'evy area leads to the heat kernel on the Heisenberg group, which is one of the simplest sub-Riemannian space. The associated diffusion operator is…

Let $X$ be an abstract orientable not necessarily compact CR manifold of dimension $2n+1$, $n\geq1$, and let $L^k$ be the $k$-th tensor power of a CR complex line bundle $L$ over $X$. Suppose that condition $Y(q)$ holds at each point of…

We prove sharp two-sided global estimates for the heat kernel associated with a Euclidean sphere of arbitrary dimension. This solves a long-standing open problem.

Using time dependent Lyapunov functions, we prove pointwise upper bounds for the heat kernels of some nonautonomous Kolmogorov operators with possibly unbounded drift and diffusion coefficients.

The heat kernel in the setting of classical Fourier-Bessel expansions is defined by an oscillatory series which cannot be computed explicitly. We prove qualitatively sharp estimates of this kernel. Our method relies on establishing a…

In this paper we prove a short time asymptotic expansion of a hypoelliptic heat kernel on an Euclidean space and a compact manifold. We study the "cut locus" case, namely, the case where energy-minimizing paths which join the two points…

A semilinear singularly perturbed reaction-diffusion equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions is considered in a convex unbounded sector. The singular perturbation parameter is arbitrarily small, and the "reduced equation" may have…

We present a novel kernel regression framework for smoothing scalar surface data using the Laplace-Beltrami eigenfunctions. Starting with the heat kernel constructed from the eigenfunctions, we formulate a new bivariate kernel regression…

We derive upper bounds for the trace of the heat kernel $Z(t)$ of the Dirichlet Laplace operator in an open set $\Omega \subset \R^d$, $d \geq 2$. In domains of finite volume the result improves an inequality of Kac. Using the same methods…

Upper and lower bounds on the heat kernel on complete Riemannian manifolds were obtained in a series of pioneering works due to Cheng-Li-Yau, Cheeger-Yau and Li-Yau. However, these estimates do not give a complete picture of the heat kernel…

We initiate in this paper the study of analytic properties of the Liouville heat kernel. In particular, we establish regularity estimates on the heat kernel and derive non trivial lower and upper bounds.

Let $G$ be a simple, finite graph and let $p_t(x,y)$ denote the heat kernel on $G$. The purpose of this short note is to show that for $t \rightarrow 0^+$ $$ p_t(x,y) = \# \left\{\mbox{paths of…

The spectral problem where the field satisfies Dirichlet conditions on one part of the boundary of the relevant domain and Neumann on the remainder is discussed. It is shown that there does not exist a classical asymptotic expansion for…

We study the spectral properties of the Laplace type operator on the circle. We discuss various approximations for the heat trace, the zeta function and the zeta-regularized determinant. We obtain a differential equation for the heat kernel…

We use heat kernels or eigenfunctions of the Laplacian to construct local coordinates on large classes of Euclidean domains and Riemannian manifolds (not necessarily smooth, e.g. with $\mathcal{C}^\alpha$ metric). These coordinates are…

We investigate the short-time expansion of the heat kernel of a Laplace type operator on a compact Riemannian manifold and show that the lowest order term of this expansion is given by the Fredholm determinant of the Hessian of the energy…
