In many contemporary statistical and machine learning methods, one needs to optimize an objective function that depends on the discrepancy between two probability distributions. The discrepancy can be referred to as a metric for…

Auscher, McIntosh and Tchamitchian studied the heat kernels of second order elliptic operators in divergence form with complex bounded measurable coefficients on $\mathbb{R}^n$. In particular, in the case when $n=2$ they obtained Gaussian…

We obtain a uniform boundary Harnack principle (BHP) on any open sets for a large class of non-local operators on metric measure spaces under a jump measure comparability and tail estimate condition, and an upper bound condition on the…

Assuming the heat kernel on a doubling Dirichlet metric measure space has a sub-Gaussian bound, we prove an asymptotically sharp spectral upper bound on the survival probability of the associated diffusion process. As a consequence, we can…

This paper is an exposition of several questions linking heat kernel measures on infinite dimensional Lie groups, limits associated with critical Sobolev exponents, and Feynmann-Kac measures for sigma models.

We consider a class of constant-coefficient partial differential operators on a finite-dimensional real vector space which exhibit a natural dilation invariance. Typically, these operators are anisotropic, allowing for different degrees in…

We settle the open question concerning the Harnack inequality for globally positive solutions to non-local in time diffusion equations by constructing a counter-example for dimensions $d\ge\beta$, where $\beta\in(0,2]$ is the order of the…

It is shown that the heat kernel operator for the Laplace operator on any covariantly constant curved background, i.e. in symmetric spaces, may be presented in form of an averaging over the Lie group of isometries with some nontrivial…

On p.c.f. self-similar sets, of which the walk dimensions of heat kernels are in general larger than 2, we find a sharp region where two classes of Besov spaces, the heat Besov spaces $B^{p,q}_\sigma(K)$ and the Lipschitz-Besov spaces…

In this short note, we hope to give a rapid induction for non-experts into the world of Differential Harnack inequalities, which have been so influential in geometric analysis and probability theory over the past few decades. At the…

For a given bounded domain $\Omega$ with smooth boundary in a smooth Riemannian manifold $(\mathcal{M},g)$, we establish a procedure to get all the coefficients of the asymptotic expansion of the trace of the heat kernel associated with the…

The dimension free Harnack inequality for the heat semigroup is established on the $\RCD(K,\infty)$ space, which is a non-smooth metric measure space having the Ricci curvature bounded from below in the sense of Lott-Sturm-Villani plus the…

We numerically compute the heat kernel on a square lattice torus equipped with the measure corresponding to Liouville quantum gravity (LQG). From the on-diagonal heat kernel we verify that the spectral dimension of LQG is 2. Furthermore,…

The paper is a continuation of our paper [12,2], and it studies functional inequalities for non-local Dirichlet forms with finite range jumps or large jumps. Let $\alpha\in(0,2)$ and $\mu_V(dx)=C_Ve^{-V(x)}\,dx$ be a probability measure. We…

In the sub-Riemannian manifolds, on the one hand, following Baudoin-Garofalo \cite{BaudoinGarofalo}, the upper bound for heat kernels associated to a class of locally subelliptic operators are given under the generalized curvature-dimension…

We prove a perturbation result for positive semigroups, thereby extending a heat kernel estimate by Barlow, Grigor'yan and Kumagai for Dirichlet forms (\cite{bgk2009}) to positive semigroups. This also leads to a generalization of…

The paper considers the Ricci flow, coupled with the harmonic map flow between two manifolds. We derive estimates for the fundamental solution of the corresponding conjugate heat equation and we prove an analog of Perelman's differential…

We study integral kernels of strongly continuous semigroups on Lebesgue spaces over metric measure spaces. Based on semigroup smoothing properties and abstract Morrey-type inequalities, we give sufficient conditions for H\"older or…

We study the even and odd Jacobi heat kernels defined in the context of the multidimensional double cone and its surface, the multidimensional hyperboloid and its surface, and the multidimensional paraboloid and its surface. By integrating…

Nash and Sobolev inequalities are known to be equivalent to ultracontractive properties of heat-like Markov semigroups, hence to uniform on-diagonal bounds on their kernel densities. In non ultracontractive settings, such bounds can not…
