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…

This article is the continuation of our first work on the determination of the cases where there is equality in Courant's Nodal Domain theorem in the case of a Robin boundary condition (with Robin parameter $h$). For the square, our first…

In this paper, we investigate the reverse improvement property of Sobolev inequalities on manifolds with quadratically decaying Ricci curvature. Specifically, we establish conditions under which the uniform decay of the heat kernel implies…

We study reflected diffusion on uniform domains where the underlying space admits a symmetric diffusion that satisfies sub-Gaussian heat kernel estimates. A celebrated theorem of Jones (Acta Math. 1981) states that uniform domains in…

In this paper, we study an asymptotic expansion of the heat kernel for a Laplace operator on a smooth Riemannian manifold without a boundary at enough small values of the proper time. The Seeley-DeWitt coefficients of this decomposition…

We study the spectrum of the Laplacian on the hemisphere with Robin boundary conditions. It is found that the eigenvalues fall into small clusters around the Neumann spectrum, and satisfy a Szeg\H{o} type limit theorem. Sharp upper and…

We show that any closed n-dimensional Riemannian manifold can be embedded by a map constructed from heat kernels at a certain time from a finite number of points. Both this time and this number can be bounded in terms of the dimension, a…

We prove that every eigenvalue of a Robin problem with boundary parameter $\alpha$ on a sufficiently smooth domain behaves asymptotically like $-\alpha^2$ as $\alpha \to \infty$. This generalises an existing result for the first eigenvalue.

We analyze the heat kernel associated to the Laplacian on a compact metric graph, with standard Kirchoff-Neumann vertex conditions. An explicit formula for the heat kernel as a sum over loops, developed by Roth and Kostrykin, Potthoff, and…

We study the small-time asymptotics of the heat content of smooth non-characteristic domains of a general rank-varying sub-Riemannian structure, equipped with an arbitrary smooth measure. By adapting to the sub-Riemannian case a technique…

We study the heat kernel for a Laplace type partial differential operator acting on smooth sections of a complex vector bundle with the structure group $G\times U(1)$ over a Riemannian manifold $M$ without boundary. The total connection on…

In the presence of a boundary interaction, Neumann boundary conditions should be modified to contain a function S of the boundary fields: (\nabla_N +S)\phi =0. Information on quantum boundary dynamics is then encoded in the $S$-dependent…

We study entire solutions of the biharmonic heat equation on complete Riemannian manifolds without boundary. We provide exponential decay estimates for the biharmonic heat kernel under assumptions on the lower bound of Ricci curvature and…

The classical local Neumann problem is well studied and solutions of this problem lie, in general, in a Sobolev space. In this work, we focus on nonlocal Neumann problems with measurable, nonnegative kernels, whose solutions require less…

The spectral gap of the Neumann and Dirichlet Laplacians are each known to have a sharp positive lower bound among convex domains of a given diameter. Between these cases, for each positive value of the Robin parameter an analogous sharp…

Motivated by Euclidean boxes, we consider "thin" annular domains of the form $U=(a,b)\times U_0\subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ in polar coordinates, where the spherical base $U_0\subseteq \mathbb{S}^{n-1}$ is an inner uniform domain. We show that,…

We present an overview of the history of the heat kernel and eigenfunctions on Riemannian manifolds and how the theory has lead to modern methods of analyzing high dimensional data via eigenmaps and other spectral embeddings. We begin with…

We study the location of the spectrum of the Laplacian on compact metric graphs with complex Robin-type vertex conditions, also known as $\delta$ conditions, on some or all of the graph vertices. We classify the eigenvalue asymptotics as…

We investigate the asymptotic behavior of the eigenvalues of the Laplacian with homogeneous Robin boundary conditions, when the (positive) Robin parameter is diverging. In this framework, since the convergence of the Robin eigenvalues to…

This article shows that under locally uniformly integral bounds of the negative part of Ricci curvature the heat kernel admits a Gaussian upper bound for small times. This provides general assumptions on the geometry of a manifold such that…
