The classical Gel'fand's inverse problem asks whether a Riemannian manifold is uniquely determined by the knowledge of the heat kernel on any open subset of the manifold. We study this inverse problem in the non-smooth setting in the…

The Kittel--Shore Hamiltonian characterizes $N$ spins with identical long-range interactions, and the $\mathfrak{su}(2)$ coalgebra has been proven to be a symmetry of this model, which can be exactly solved. By using quantum groups and, in…

We consider the stochastic differential equation on $\mathbb{R}^d$ given by $$ \, \mathrm{d}X_t = b(t,X_t) \, \mathrm{d}t + \, \mathrm{d} B_t, $$ where $B$ is a Brownian motion and $b$ is considered to be a distribution of regularity $ >…

Discrete forms of the scalar, sectional and Ricci curvatures are constructed on simplicial piecewise flat triangulations of smooth manifolds, depending directly on the simplicial structure and a choice of dual tessellation. This is done by…

We show that any quantum irreducible flag manifold satisfies an analogue of the Einstein condition, expressing proportionality between the Ricci tensor and the metric, at least in a small open interval around the classical value of the…

We are concerned in this article with a classical topic in spectral geometry dating back to McKean-Singer, Patodi and Tanno: whether or not the constancy of sectional curvature (resp. holomorphic sectional curvature) of a compact Riemannian…

We prove that if the Ricci tensor $\mathrm{Ric}$ of a geodesically complete Riemannian manifold $M$, endowed with the Riemannian distance $\mathsf{d}$ and the Riemannian measure $\mathfrak{m}$, is bounded from below by a continuous function…

In this paper, we aim to interpret the background gravitational effects appearing in quantum field theory on curved space-time by studying the Brownian motion of quantum states along with the Hamilton-Perelman Ricci flow. It has been shown…

In this work, we establish the existence of solutions to stochastic differential equations on the Wasserstein space over a closed Riemannian manifold, under suitable regularity assumptions on the driving vector fields. Interpreting the…

Every closed connected Riemannian spin manifold of non-zero $\hat{A}$-genus or non-zero Hitchin invariant with non-negative scalar curvature admits a parallel spinor, in particular is Ricci-flat. In this note, we generalize this result to…

On a complete non-compact Riemannian manifold satisfying the volume doubling property, we give conditions on the negative part of the Ricci curvature that ensure that, unless there are harmonic one-forms, the Gaussian heat kernel upper…

An equation describing subdiffusion with possible immobilization of particles is derived by means of the continuous time random walk model. The equation contains a fractional time derivative of Riemann--Liouville type which is a…

We prove certain gradient and eigenvalue estimates, as well as the heat kernel estimates, for the Hodge Laplacian on $(m,0)$ forms, i.e., sections of the canonical bundle of K\"ahler manifolds, where $m$ is the complex dimension of the…

Let $L$ be an elliptic differential operator on a complete connected Riemannian manifold $M$ such that the associated heat kernel has two-sided Gaussian bounds as well as a Gaussian type gradient estimate. Let $L^{(\aa)}$ be the…

An action of a Lie algebra $\frak g$ on a manifold $M$ is just a Lie algebra homomorphism $\zeta:\frak g\to \frak X(M)$. We define orbits for such an action. In general the space of orbits $M/\frak g$ is not a manifold and even has a bad…

These are notes on seminal work of Freed, and subsequent developments, on the curvature properties of (Sobolev Lie) groups of maps from a Riemannian manifold into a compact Lie group. We are mainly interested in critical cases which are…

The field-theoretic one-loop effective action in a static scalar background depending nontrivially on a single spatial coordinate is related, in the proper-time formalism, to the trace of the evolution kernel (or heat kernel) for an…

A new algebraic approach for calculating the heat kernel for the Laplace operator on any Riemannian manifold with covariantly constant curvature is proposed. It is shown that the heat kernel operator can be obtained by an averaging over the…
