In this article, we develop a martingale approach to localized Bismut-type Hessian formulas for heat semigroups on Riemannian manifolds. Our approach extends the Hessian formulas established by Stroock (1996) and removes in particular the…

We develop a new method for the calculation of the heat trace asymptotics of the Laplacian on symmetric spaces that is based on a representation of the heat semigroup in form of an average over the Lie group of isometries and obtain a…

In this note we consider achieving the largest principle eigenvalue of a Robin Laplacian on a bounded domain $\Omega$ by optimizing the Robin parameter function under an integral constraint. The main novelty of our approach lies in…

In a cylinder $D_T = \Omega \times (0,T)$, where $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n$, we examine the relation between the $L$-caloric measure, $d\omega^{(x,t)}$, where $L$ is the heat operator associated with a system of vector fields of…

We study the following version of Hardy-type inequality on a domain $\Omega$ in a Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$: $$ \int{\Omega}|\nabla u|_g^p\rho^\alpha dV_g \geq \left(\frac{|p-1+\beta|}{p}\right)^p\int{\Omega}\frac{|u|^p|\nabla…

We consider the basic heat operator on functions on a Riemannian foliation of a compact, Riemannian manifold, and we show that the trace of this operator has a particular short time asymptotic expansion. The coefficients in this expansion…

We consider the heat equation in a straight strip, subject to a combination of Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions. We show that a switch of the respective boundary conditions leads to an improvement of the decay rate of the heat…

We study new invariants of elliptic partial differential operators acting on sections of a vector bundle over a closed Riemannian manifold that we call the relativistic heat trace and the quantum heat traces. We obtain some reduction…

We consider a complete non-compact Riemannian manifold satisfying the volume doubling property and a Gaussian upper bound for its heat kernel (on functions). Let -- $\rightarrow$ $\Delta$ k be the Hodge-de Rham Laplacian on differential…

For a given bounded domain $\Omega$ with smooth boundary in a smooth Riemannian manifold $(\mathcal{M},g)$, we show that the Poisson type upper-estimate of the heat kernel associated to the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator, the Sobolev trace…

We prove that the heat equation on $\mathbb{R}^d$ is well-posed in certain spaces of functions allowing spatial asymptotic expansions as $|x|\to\infty$ of any a priori given order. In fact, we show that the Laplacian on such function spaces…

The notion of strictly outward minimising hull is investigated for open sets of finite perimeter sitting inside a complete noncompact Riemannian manifold. Under natural geometric assumptions on the ambient manifold, the strictly outward…

We will discuss what it means for a general heat kernel on a metric measure space to be local. We show that the Wiener measure associated to Brownian motion is local. Next we show that locality of the Wiener measure plus a suitable decay…

We establish both local and global well-posedness for the heat flow of polyharmonic maps from $R^n$ to a compact Riemannian manifold without boundary for initial data with small BMO norms.

We study curvature invariants of a sub-Riemannian manifold (i.e., a manifold with a Riemannian metric on a non-holonomic distribution) related to mutual curvature of several pairwise orthogonal subspaces of the distribution, and prove…
