We investigate the equivalence of relative Faber-Krahn inequalities and the conjunction of Gaussian upper heat kernel bounds and volume doubling on large scales on graphs. For the normalizing measure, we obtain their equivalence up to…

We use a Harnack-type inequality on exit times and spectral bounds to characterize upper bounds of the heat kernel associated with any regular Dirichlet form without killing part, where the scale function may vary with position. We further…

Sub-Gaussian heat kernel estimates are typical of fractal graphs. We show that sub-Gaussian estimates on graphs follow from a Poincar\'e inequality, capacity upper bound, and a slow volume growth condition. An important feature of this work…

The main result of this paper is a sharp upper bound on the first positive eigenvalue of Dirac operators in two dimensional simply connected $C^3$-domains with infinite mass boundary conditions. This bound is given in terms of a conformal…
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…
We derive a Harnack inequality for positive solutions of the $f$-heat equation and Gaussian upper and lower bounds for the $f$-heat kernel on complete smooth metric measure spaces $(M, g, e^{-f}dv)$ with Bakry-\'Emery Ricci curvature…
We consider the Dirichlet form given by \sE(f,f)&=&{1/2}\int_{\bR^d}\sum_{i,j=1}^d a_{ij}(x)\frac{\partial f(x)}{\partial x_i} \frac{\partial f(x)}{\partial x_j} dx &+&\int_{\bR^d\times \bR^d} (f(y)-f(x))^2J(x,y)dxdy. Under the assumption…
The well-known Faber-Krahn theorem states that the ball has the lowest first Dirichlet eigenvalue among all domains of the same volume in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Leydold (Geom. Funct. Anal, 1997) gave the discrete version of Faber-Krahn inequality…
We demonstrate a relationship between the heat kernel on a finite weighted Abelian Cayley graph and Gaussian functions on lattices. This can be used to prove a new inequality for the heat kernel on such a graph: when $t \leq t'$,…
We obtain an upper heat kernel bound for the Laplacian on metric graphs arising as one skeletons of certain polygonal tilings of the plane, which reflects the one dimensional as well as the two dimensional nature of these graphs.
The Faber-Krahn inequality states that among all open domains with a fixed volume in R^n, the ball minimizes the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of the Laplacian. We study an asymptotic discrete analogue of this for the combinatorial Dirichlet…
