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.…
For $d\geq 1$ and $0<\beta<\alpha<2$, consider a family of pseudo differential operators $\{\Delta^{\alpha} + a^\beta \Delta^{\beta/2}; a \in [0, 1]\}$ that evolves continuously from $\Delta^{\alpha/2}$ to $ \Delta^{\alpha/2}+…

We prove on-diagonal bounds for the heat kernel of the Dirichlet Laplacian $-\Delta^D_\Omega$ in locally twisted three-dimensional tubes $\Omega$. In particular, we show that for any fixed $x$ the heat kernel decays for large times as…
We consider heat kernel for higher-order operators with constant coefficients in $d$-dimensio\-nal Euclidean space and its asymptotic behavior. For arbitrary operators which are invariant with respect to $O(d)$-rotations we obtain exact…
We derive a local Gaussian upper bound for the $f$-heat kernel on complete smooth metric measure space $(M,g,e^{-f}dv)$ with nonnegative Bakry-\'{E}mery Ricci curvature, which generalizes the classic Li-Yau estimate. As applications, we…

We obtain heat kernel estimates for a class of fourth order non-uniformly elliptic operators in two dimensions. Contrary to existing results, the operators considered have symbols that are not strongly convex. This rises certain…
In this paper, we establish sharp two-sided estimates for the transition densities of relativistic stable processes [i.e., for the heat kernels of the operators $m-(m^{2/\alpha}-\Delta)^{\alpha/2}$] in $C^{1,1}$ open sets. Here $m>0$ and…
In this paper, we prove Hamilton's Harnack inequality and the gradient estimates of the logarithmic heat kernel for the Witten Laplacian on complete Riemainnian manifolds. As applications, we prove the $W$-entropy formula for the Witten…
We prove that the heat kernel associated to the Schr\"odinger type operator $A:=(1+|x|^\alpha)\Delta-|x|^\beta$ satisfies the estimate $$k(t,x,y)\leq…
Suppose that $d\geq2$ and $\alpha\in(1,2)$. Let D be a bounded $C^{1,1}$ open set in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and b an $\mathbb{R}^d$-valued function on $\mathbb{R}^d$ whose components are in a certain Kato class of the rotationally symmetric…
This paper provides sharp Dirichlet heat kernel estimates in inner uniform domains, including bounded inner uniform domains, in the context of certain (possibly non-symmetric) bilinear forms resembling Dirichlet forms. For instance, the…
We study reflected jump diffusions on Ahlfors regular domains in general metric measure spaces. Under the condition that the Dirichlet form on the ambient space satisfies a capacity upper bound estimate, we construct an extension operator…
In a previous paper we have presented a general formalism for computing Feynman diagrams for scalar fields in curved spacetime at any loop order using heat kernel methods. The main technique used is the expansion of the fully off-diagonal…
We survey the recent progress in the study of heat kernels for a class of non-symmetric non-local operators. We focus on the existence and sharp two-sided estimates of the heat kernels and their connection to jump diffusions.
Using sharp global heat kernel bounds and geodesic comparison geometry, we show that the Dalang condition for well-posedness of the parabolic Anderson model with measure-valued initial conditions, first introduced on Euclidean space, holds…
We provide pointwise upper bounds for the transition kernels of semigroups associated with a class of systems of nondegenerate elliptic partial differential equations with unbounded coefficients with possibly unbounded diffusion…
Bounds on the logarithmic derivatives of the heat kernel on a compact Riemannian manifolds have been long known, and were recently extended, for the log-gradient and log-Hessian, to general complete Riemannian manifolds. Here, we further…
In this work we construct the heat kernel of the 1/2-order Laplacian perturbed by the first-order gradient term in H\"older space and the zero-order potential term in generalized Kato's class, and obtain sharp two-sided estimates as well as…
