The efficiency of macroscopic heat engines is restricted by the second law of thermodynamics. They can reach at most the efficiency of a Carnot engine. In contrast, heat currents in mesoscopic heat engines show fluctuations. Thus, there is…

We obtain two-sided heat kernel estimates for Riemannian manifolds with ends with mixed boundary condition, provided that the heat kernels for the ends are well understood. These results extend previous results of Grigor'yan and…
In this paper we extend a gradient estimate of R. Hamilton for positive solutions to the heat equation on closed manifolds to bounded positive solutions on complete, non-compact manifolds with $Rc \geq -Kg$. We accomplish this extension via…
It is well-known that the asymptotic expansion of the trace of the heat kernel for Laplace operators on smooth compact Riemmanian manifolds can be obtained through termwise integration of the asymptotic expansion of the on-diagonal heat…
