We study the relationship between the geometry and the Laplace spectrum of a Riemannian orbifold O via its heat kernel; as in the manifold case, the time-zero asymptotic expansion of the heat kernel furnishes geometric information about O.…

In this paper, we study the heat kernel associated to the intrinsic sublaplacian on a quaternionic contact manifold considered as a subriemannian manifold. More precisely, we explicitly compute the first two coefficients $c_0$ and $c_1$…

In this paper, we first prove that the following generalized conservation principle holds on complete Riemannian manifolds: for every \(0<s<1\) and \(t>0\), \[ T_t^{(s)}\mathbf 1+\int_0^t T_\tau^{(s)}\mathcal R_s\,d\tau=1 \qquad\text{on }M,…

Let $(M^n, g)$ be a complete Riemannian manifold with $Rc\geq -Kg$, $H(x, y, t)$ is the heat kernel on $M^n$, and $H= (4\pi t)^{-\frac{n}{2}}e^{-f}$. Nash entropy is defined as $N(H, t)= \int_{M^n} (fH) d\mu(x)- \frac{n}{2}$. We studied the…
