We show an energy convexity along any harmonic map heat flow with small initial energy and fixed boundary data on the unit 2-disk. In particular, this gives an affirmative answer to a question raised by W. Minicozzi asking whether such…

In this paper, we establish lower and upper Gaussian bounds for the probability density of the mild solution to the stochastic heat equation with multiplicative noise and in any space dimension. The driving perturbation is a Gaussian noise…

We investigate the initial-boundary value problem for one-dimensional compressible, heat-conductive, non-resistive MHD equations of viscous, ideal polytropic fluids in the Lagrangian coordinates. The existence and Lipschitz continuous…

We show that the Poincar\'e constant of a log-concave measure in Euclidean space is monotone increasing along the heat flow. In fact, the entire spectrum of the associated Laplace operator is monotone decreasing. Two proofs of these results…

In this paper, we present an alternate, elementary proof of the local Lipschitz regularity of the suitable weak solution of heat flow of harmonic maps into CAT(0)-metric spaces, whose existence was established by Lin, Segatti, Sire, and…

For the Neumann heat flow on nonconvex Riemannian domains $D\subset M$, we provide sharp gradient estimates and transport estimates with a novel $\sqrt t$-dependence, for instance, $$\text{Lip}( P^D_tf)\le e^{2S \,…

We show that the heat flow on super-Ricci flows in the sense of Sturm satisfies transport estimates with respect to every $L^p$-Kantorovich distance, $p\in[1,\infty]$. As an application we construct Brownian motions on time-dependent metric…

We prove an inequality of H\"older type traducing the unique continuation property at one time for the heat equation with a potential and Neumann boundary condition. The main feature of the proof is to overcome the propagation of smallness…

This work investigates heat transport in rotating internally heated convection, for a horizontally periodic fluid between parallel plates under no-slip and isothermal boundary conditions. The main results are the proof of bounds on the mean…

We establish transportation cost inequalities (TCI) with respect to the quantum Wasserstein distance by introducing quantum extensions of well-known classical methods: first, using a non-commutative version of Ollivier's coarse Ricci…

We prove upper bounds on the $L^\infty$-Wasserstein distance from optimal transport between strongly log-concave probability densities and log-Lipschitz perturbations. In the simplest setting, such a bound amounts to a transport-information…

We consider the initial boundary problem of 2D non-homogeneous incompressible heat conducting Navier-Stokes equations with vacuum, where the viscosity and heat conductivity depend on temperature in a power law of Chapman-Enskog. We derive…

Laboratory experiments were conducted to study heat transport characteristics in a nonhomogeneously heated fluid annulus subjected to rotation along the vertical axis (z). The nonhomogeneous heating was obtained by imposing radial and…

A theorem of L. Caffarelli implies the existence of a map pushing forward a source Gaussian measure to a target measure which is more log-concave than the source one, which contracts Euclidean distance (in fact, Caffarelli showed that the…

All statistical information about the heat can be obtained with the probability distribution of the heat functional. This paper derives analytically the expression for the distribution of the heat, through path integral, for a diffusive…

In this paper, we derive a Sobolev inequality along an extended Ricci flow and prove a point-wise Guassian type bound for the fundamental solutions of the conjugate heat equation under the flow.

In this paper we prove first order differential Harnack estimates for positive solutions of the heat equation (in the sense of distributions) under closed Finsler-Ricci flows. We assume mild non-linearities (in terms of the Chern…

We analyze closed one-dimensional chains of weakly coupled many level systems, by means of the so-called Hilbert space average method (HAM). Subject to some concrete conditions on the Hamiltonian of the system, our theory predicts energy…

Large-scale electrical and thermal currents in ordinary metals are well approximated by effective medium theory: global transport properties are governed by the solution to homogenized coupled diffusion equations. In some metals, including…

We formulate a thermodynamically consistent continuum theory for compressible, viscous, heat-conducting fluids in which the velocity entering the balance of mass is distinguished from the specific linear momentum entering the balances of…
