We establish sharp-in-time kernel and dispersive estimates for the Schr\"odinger equation on non-compact Riemannian symmetric spaces of any rank. Due to the particular geometry at infinity and the Kunze-Stein phenomenon, these properties…

Recently proposed nonlocal and nonperturbative late time behavior of the heat kernel is generalized to curved spacetimes. Heat kernel trace asymptotics is dominated by two terms one of which represents a trivial covariantization of the…

We derive a detailed asymptotic expansion of the heat trace for the Laplace-Beltrami operator on functions on manifolds with conic singularities, using the Singular Asymptotics Lemma of Jochen Bruening and Robert T. Seeley [BS]. In the…
For a sub-Riemannian manifold provided with a smooth volume, we relate the small time asymptotics of the heat kernel at a point $y$ of the cut locus from $x$ with roughly "how much" $y$ is conjugate to $x$. This is done under the hypothesis…
The method which allows for asymptotic expansion of the one-loop effective action W=ln det A is formulated. The positively defined elliptic operator A= U + M^2 depends on the external classical fields taking values in the Lie algebra of the…
The heat kernel expansion on even-dimensional hyperbolic spaces is asymptotic at both short and long times, with interestingly different Borel properties for these short and long time expansions. Resummations in terms of incomplete gamma…
We build a systematic calculational method for the covariant expansion of the two-point heat kernel $\hat K(\tau|x,x')$ for generic minimal and non-minimal differential operators of any order. This is the expansion in powers of dimensional…
Building on our earlier work on heat kernel asymptotics for Schr\"odinger-type operators on noncompact manifolds, we establish both the classical and semiclassical Weyl laws for Schr\"odinger operators of the form $\Delta+V$ and…
We explicitly construct parametrices for magnetic Schr\"odinger operators on R^d and prove that they provide a complete small-t expansion for the corresponding heat kernel, both on and off the diagonal.
We consider a general Hermitian holomorphic line bundle $L$ on a compact complex manifold $M$ and let ${\Box}^q_p$ be the Kodaira Laplacian on $(0,q)$ forms with values in $L^p$. The main result is a complete asymptotic expansion for the…
We present analytical methods to calculate the magnetic response of non-interacting electrons constrained to a domain with boundaries and submitted to a uniform magnetic field. Two different methods of calculation are considered - one…
Motivated by the Landau-Ginzburg model, we study the Witten deformation on a noncompact manifold with bounded geometry, together with some tameness condition on the growth of the Morse function $f$ near infinity. We prove that the…
In recent years, quantities derived from the heat equation have become popular in shape processing and analysis of triangulated surfaces. Such measures are often robust with respect to different kinds of perturbations, including…
