We study inequalities related to the heat kernel for the hypoelliptic sublaplacian on an H-type Lie group. Specifically, we obtain precise pointwise upper and lower bounds on the heat kernel function itself. We then apply these bounds to…
This paper presents a detailed analysis of the heat kernel on an $(\mathbb{N}\times\mathbb{N})$-parameter family of compact metric measure spaces, which do not satisfy the volume doubling property. In particular, uniform bounds of the heat…
We analyze the heat kernel associated to the Laplacian on a compact metric graph, with standard Kirchoff-Neumann vertex conditions. An explicit formula for the heat kernel as a sum over loops, developed by Roth and Kostrykin, Potthoff, and…
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…

We introduce a class of non-commutative Heisenberg like infinite dimensional Lie groups based on an abstract Wiener space. The Ricci curvature tensor for these groups is computed and shown to be bounded. Brownian motion and the…
Let $G$ be an infinite, edge- and vertex-weighted graph with certain reasonable restrictions. We construct the heat kernel of the associated Laplacian using an adaptation of the parametrix approach due to Minakshisundaram-Pleijel in the…
The starting point of our analysis is an old idea of writing an eigenfunction expansion for a heat kernel considered in the case of a hypoelliptic heat kernel on a nilpotent Lie group $G$. One of the ingredients of this approach is the…
Working within the framework of the covariant perturbation theory, we obtain the coincidence limit of the heat kernel of an elliptic second order differential operator that is applicable to a large class of quantum field theories. The basis…
Let $d\geq 1$ and $\alpha \in (0, 2)$. Consider the following non-local and non-symmetric L\'evy-type operator on $\mR^d$: $$ \sL^\kappa_{\alpha}f(x):=\mbox{p.v.}\int_{\mR^d}(f(x+z)-f(x))\frac{\kappa(x,z)}{|z|^{d+\alpha}} \dif z, $$ where…
An important object of study in harmonic analysis is the heat equation. On a Euclidean space, the fundamental solution of the associated semigroup is known as the heat kernel, which is also the law of Brownian motion. Similar statements…
Let $L = -1/4 (\sum_{j=1}^n(X_j^2+Y_j^2)+i\gamma T)$ where $\gamma$ is a complex number, $X_j$, $Y_j$, and $T$ are the left invariant vector fields of the Heisenberg group structure for $R^n \times R^n \times R$. We explicitly compute the…
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 aim of this paper is to construct (explicit) heat kernels for some hybrid evolution equations which arise in physics, conformal geometry and subelliptic PDEs. Hybrid means that the relevant partial differential operator appears in the…
In this article, we establish Gaussian decay for the Box_b-heat kernel on polynomial models in C^2. Our technique attains the exponential decay via a partial Fourier transform. On the transform side, the problem becomes finding quantitative…
We explicitly evaluate the heat kernel for the Laplacian of arbitrary spin tensor fields on the thermal quotient of (Euclidean) $AdS_N$ for $N\geq 3$ using the group theoretic techniques employed for $AdS_3$ in arXiv:0911.5085. Our approach…
We use the heat kernel (on differential forms) on a compact Riemannian manifold to assign a real number to a k-tuple of cycles on the manifold satisfying certain conditions. If k is 2, this number is the ordinary topological linking number,…
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…
In this paper we continue the analysis of spectral problems in the setting of complete manifolds with fibred boundary metrics, also referred to as $\phi$-metrics, as initiated in our previous work. We consider the Hodge Laplacian for a…
In this paper we provide explicitly the connection between the hypoelliptic heat kernel for some 3-step sub-Riemannian manifolds and the quartic oscillator. We study the left-invariant sub-Riemannian structure on two nilpotent Lie groups,…
