Using the Arthur-Selberg trace formula we express the index of a Dirac operator on an arithmetic quotient over a totally real field with at least two real embeddings as the integral over the index form plus a sum of orbital integrals. For…

We give matching upper and lower bounds for the Dirichlet heat kernel of a Schr\"odinger operator $\Delta+W$ in the domain above the graph of a bounded Lipschitz function, in the case when $W$ decays away from the boundary faster than…

This is an expository article. It discusses an approach to hypoelliptic Fredholm index theory based on noncommutative methods (groupoids, C*-algebras, K-theory). The paper starts with an explicit index theorem for scalar second order…

We consider integral kernels for functions $f(\hat F)$ of a minimal second-order differential operator $\hat F(\nabla)$ on a curved spacetime. We show that they can be expanded in a functional series, analogous to the DeWitt expansion for…

When studying non-symmetric nonlocal operators $$ {\cal L} f(x) = \int_{{\bf R}^d} \left( f(x+z)-f(x)-\nabla f(x)\cdot z 1_{\{|z|\leq 1\}} \right) \frac{\kappa (x, z)}{|z|^{d+\alpha}} d z , $$ where $0<\alpha<2$ and $\kappa (x, z)$ is a…

Let $(X,g)$ be a product cone with the metric $g=dr^2+r^2h$, where $X=C(Y)=(0,\infty)_r\times Y$ and the cross section $Y$ is a $(n-1)$-dimensional closed Riemannian manifold $(Y,h)$. We study the upper boundedness of heat kernel associated…

The starting point of our analysis is an old idea of writing an eigenfunction expansion for a heat kernel considered in the case of a hypoelliptic heat kernel on a nilpotent Lie group $G$. One of the ingredients of this approach is the…

Working within the framework of the covariant perturbation theory, we obtain the coincidence limit of the heat kernel of an elliptic second order differential operator that is applicable to a large class of quantum field theories. The basis…

We revisit the cohomological index theorem for elliptic elements in the universal enveloping algebra of a Lie groupoid previously proved by the authors. We prove a Thom isomorphism for Lie algebroids which enables us to rewrite the…

We prove Poisson upper bounds for the heat kernel of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator with variable H{\"o}lder coefficients when the underlying domain is bounded and has a C 1+$\kappa$-boundary for some $\kappa$ > 0. We also prove a number…

We study second-order elliptic partial differential operators acting on sections of vector bundles over a compact manifold with boundary with a non-scalar positive definite leading symbol. Such operators, called non-Laplace type operators,…

In this paper, we derive explicit sharp two-sided estimates for the Dirichlet heat kernels of a large class of symmetric (but not necessarily rotationally symmetric) L\'evy processes on half spaces for all $t>0$. These L\'evy processes may…

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 prove heat kernel bounds for the operator (1 + |x|^{\alpha})\Delta in R^N, through Nash inequalities and weighted Hardy inequalities.
