Here we will consider examples of conformally flat manifolds that are conformally equivalent to open subsets of the n-dimensional sphere. For such manifolds we shall introduce a Cauchy kernel and Cauchy integral formula for sections tasking…
We characterize the conjugate linearized Ricci flow and the associated backward heat kernel on closed three--manifolds of bounded geometry. We discuss their properties, and introduce the notion of Ricci flow conjugated constraint sets which…
We introduce, for the first time, a Bochner integral formula for the logarithmic Laplacian on any complete Riemannian manifold. This unified framework recovers the classical pointwise expression on Euclidean space and allows us to define…
In this paper, we study the heat kernel associated to the intrinsic sublaplacian on a quaternionic contact manifold considered as a subriemannian manifold. More precisely, we explicitly compute the first two coefficients $c_0$ and $c_1$…
Using a particular form of the quantum K-essence scalar field, we show that in the quantum formalism, a fractional differential equation in the scalar field variable, for some epochs in the Friedmann-Lema\^itre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) model…
We consider bifurcation of critical points from a trivial branch for families of functionals that are invariant under the orthogonal action of a compact Lie group. Based on a recent construction of an equivariant spectral flow by the…
A rigorous \textit{ab initio} derivation of the (square of) Dirac's equation for a single particle with spin is presented. The general Hamilton-Jacobi equation for the particle expressed in terms of a background Weyl's conformal geometry is…
The Kittel--Shore (KS) Hamiltonian describes $N$ spins with long-range interactions that are identically coupled; therefore, this (mean-field) model is also known as the Heisenberg XXX model on the complete graph. In this paper, the…
This paper studies the Ricci flow on closed manifolds admitting harmonic spinors. It is shown that Perelman's Ricci flow entropy can be expressed in terms of the energy of harmonic spinors in all dimensions, and in four dimensions, in terms…
We continue our study of the mixed Einstein-Hilbert action as a functional of a pseudo-Riemannian metric and a linear connection. Its geometrical part is the total mixed scalar curvature on a smooth manifold endowed with a distribution or a…
Fractional kinetic theory plays a vital role in describing anomalous diffusion in terms of complex dynamics generating semi-Markovian processes. Recently, the variational principle and associated Levy Ansatz have been proposed in order to…
The theory of scale relativity provides a new insight into the origin of fundamental laws in physics. Its application to microphysics allows us to recover quantum mechanics as mechanics on a non-differentiable (fractal) spacetime. The…
For incomplete sub-Riemannian manifolds, and for an associated second-order hypoelliptic operator, which need not be symmetric, we identify two alternative conditions for the validity of Gaussian-type upper bounds on heat kernels and…
Let M be an even dimensional compact Riemannian manifold with boundary and let D be a Dirac operator acting on the sections of the Clifford module E over M. We impose certain local elliptic boundary conditions for D obtaining a selfadjoint…
We study an index of a transversal Dirac operator on an odd-dimensional manifold $X$ with locally free $\mathbb{S}^1$-action. One difficulty of using heat kernel method lies in the understanding of the asymptotic expansion as $t\to 0^+$. By…
We study integral kernels of strongly continuous semigroups on Lebesgue spaces over metric measure spaces. Based on semigroup smoothing properties and abstract Morrey-type inequalities, we give sufficient conditions for H\"older or…
In view of the increasing attention to the time responses of complex fluids described by power-laws in association with the need to capture inertia effects that manifest in high-frequency microrheology, we compute the five basic…
We use the heat kernel (on differential forms) on a compact Riemannian manifold to assign a real number to a k-tuple of cycles on the manifold satisfying certain conditions. If k is 2, this number is the ordinary topological linking number,…
Based on a suggestion of Richard Hamilton, we give an alternate proof of his matrix Harnack inequality for solutions of the Ricci flow with positive curvature operator. This Harnack inequality says that a certain endomorphism, consisting of…
The asymptotic behavior of the heat kernel of a Riemannian manifold gives rise to the classical concepts of parabolicity, stochastic completeness (or conservative property) and Feller property (or $C^{0}$-diffusion property). Both…
