Let $X_{1},...,X_{m}$ be a family of real smooth vector fields defined in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$, $1$-homogeneous with respect to a nonisotropic family of dilations and satisfying H\"{o}rmander's rank condition at $0$ (and therefore at every…

The family of Mat\'ern kernels are often used in spatial statistics, function approximation and Gaussian process methods in machine learning. One reason for their popularity is the presence of a smoothness parameter that controls, for…
We approximate the heat kernel $h(x,y,t)$ on a compact connected Riemannian manifold $M$ without boundary uniformly in $(x,y,t)\in M\times M\times [a,b]$, $a>0$, by $n$-fold integrals over $M^n$ of the densities of Brownian bridges.…
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 $c_1$…
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…
In this note, we prove global weighted Sobolev inequalities on non-compact CD(0,N) spaces satisfying a suitable growth condition, extending to possibly non-smooth and non-Riemannian structures a previous result by V. Minerbe stated for…
We study the $L^p$ boundedness of Riesz transform as well as the reverse inequality on Riemannian manifolds and graphs under the volume doubling property and a sub-Gaussian heat kernel upper bound. We prove that the Riesz transform is then…
We show that the heat kernel measures based at the north pole of the spheres $S^{N-1}(\sqrt N)$, with properly scaled radius $\sqrt N$ and adjusted center, converge to a Gaussian measure in $\mathbb R^\infty$, and find an explicit formula…
In this paper the authors present a proof of a pointwise radial monotonicity property of heat kernels that is shared by the euclidean spaces, spheres and hyperbolic spaces. The main result deals with monotonicity from special points on…
We apply Davies' method for obtaining pointwise lower bounds on the heat kernels of higher-order differential operators to obtain pointwise lower bounds in the presence of a polynomialy bounded potential.
We propose a class of intrinsic Gaussian processes (in-GPs) for interpolation, regression and classification on manifolds with a primary focus on complex constrained domains or irregular shaped spaces arising as subsets or submanifolds of…
Let $G$ be a noncompact semisimple Lie group equipped with a certain invariant Riemannian metric. Then, we can consider a heat kernel function on $G$ associated to the Riemannian metric. We give an explicit formula for the heat kernel when…
We show that any closed $n$-dimensional manifold $(M,g)$ can be embedded by a map constructed using the heat kernels of the connection Laplacian as well as a maps constructed using truncated heat kernel at a certain time $t$ from a…
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 and a possibly unbounded potential term.
Common proofs of the Gagliardo-Nirenberg-Sobolev (GNS) do not provide explicit bounds on the involved constants, unless a sharp constant is being determined. GNS inequalities naturally occur in error estimates for numerical approximations.…

The heat kernel expansion for a general non--minimal operator on the spaces $C^\infty (\Lambda^k)$ and $C^\infty (\Lambda^{p,q})$ is studied. The coefficients of the heat kernel asymptotics for this operator are expressed in terms of the…
Let $\Omega$ be an open set in a complete, smooth, non-compact, $m$-dimensional Riemannian manifold $M$ without boundary, where $M$ satisfies a two-sided Li-Yau gaussian heat kernel bound. It is shown that if $\Omega$ has infinite measure,…
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,…
