We investigate heat kernel estimates of the form $p_{t}(x, x)\geq c_{x}t^{-\alpha},$ for large enough $t,$ where $\alpha$ and $c_{x}$ are positive reals and $c_{x}$ may depend on $x,$ on manifolds having at least one end.

We prove qualitatively sharp heat kernel bounds in the setting of Fourier-Bessel expansions when the associated type parameter $\nu$ is half-integer. Moreover, still for half-integer $\nu$, we also obtain sharp estimates of all kernels…

We obtain matching two sided estimates of the heat kernel on a connected sum of parabolic manifolds, each of them satisfying the Li-Yau estimate. The key result is the on-diagonal upper bound of the heat kernel at a central point. Contrary…

Covariant perturbation expansion is an important method in quantum field theory. In this paper an expansion up to arbitrary order for off-diagonal heat kernels in flat space based on the covariant perturbation expansion is given. In…

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…

We develop new techniques to efficiently evaluate heat kernel coefficients for the Laplacian in the short-time expansion on spheres and hyperboloids with conical singularities. We then apply these techniques to explicitly compute the…

On fractals, spectral functions such as heat kernels and zeta functions exhibit novel features, very different from their behaviour on regular smooth manifolds, and these can have important physical consequences for both classical and…

I discuss the trace of a heat kernel Tr[e^(-tA)] for compact fuzzy spaces. In continuum theory its asymptotic expansion for t -> +0 provides geometric quantities, and therefore may be used to extract effective geometric quantities for fuzzy…
