This paper is an overview on our recent results in the calculation of the heat kernel in quantum field theory and quantum gravity. We introduce a deformation of the background fields (including the metric of a curved spacetime manifold) and…
We prove the following gradient inequality for the subelliptic heat kernel on nilpotent Lie groups $G$ of H-type: $$|\nabla P_t f| \le K P_t(|\nabla f|)$$ where $P_t$ is the heat semigroup corresponding to the sublaplacian on $G$, $\nabla$…
It is shown that the heat kernel operator for the Laplace operator on any covariantly constant curved background, i.e. in symmetric spaces, may be presented in form of an averaging over the Lie group of isometries with some nontrivial…
In this paper, we derive the gradient estimates for the positive solutions of the equation $\Delta_b u + au^{p+1} = 0$ on complete noncompact pseudo-Hermitian manifolds, where $a > 0$ and $p \leq 0$ or $a < 0$ and $p > 0$ are two constants.…
The heat kernel expansion for a general non--minimal operator on the spaces $C^\infty (\Lambda^k)$ and $C^\infty (\Lambda^{p,q})$ is studied. The coefficients of the heat kernel asymptotics for this operator are expressed in terms of the…
Gradient inequalities of the Hamilton type and the Li-Yau type for positive solutions to the heat equation are established from a probabilistic viewpoint, which simplifies the proofs of some results of Sun [{\it Pacific J. Math.}, 253…
We obtain sharp estimates for the Jacobi heat kernel in a range of parameters where the result has not been established before. This extends and completes an earlier result due to the authors. The proof is based on a generalization of the…
We analyze the asymptotic behaviour of the heat kernel defined by a stochastically perturbed geodesic flow on the cotangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold for small time and small diffusion parameter. This extends WKB-type methods to a…
Using methods of A. Grigor'yan and L. Saloff-Coste we prove that on a manifold with a conical end the heat kernel has a Gaussian bound. This result is applied to asymptotically conical K\"ahler manifolds. It is a result of the author and R.…
We give a proof of Gaussian upper bound for the heat kernel coupled with the Ricci ow. Previous proofs by Lei Ni [5] use Harnack inequality and doubling volume property, also the recent proof by Zhang and Cao [6] uses Sobolev type…
In this paper, we obtain an explicit formula for the heat kernel on the infinite Cayley graph of the modular group $\operatorname{PSL}_2\mathbb{Z}$, given by the presentation $\langle a,b\mid a^2=1, b^3=1\rangle$. Our approach extends the…
In this paper we consider the gradient estimates on positive solutions to the following elliptic equation defined on a complete Riemannian manifold $(M,\,g)$: $$\Delta v+v^r-v^s= 0,$$ where $r$ and $s$ are two real constants. When$(M,\,g)$…
In this paper, we establish sharp two-sided estimates for the transition densities of relativistic stable processes [i.e., for the heat kernels of the operators $m-(m^{2/\alpha}-\Delta)^{\alpha/2}$] in $C^{1,1}$ open sets. Here $m>0$ and…
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…
An approach for solving scattering problems, based on two quantum field theory methods, the heat kernel method and the scattering spectral method, is constructed. This approach converts a method of calculating heat kernels into a method of…
The aim of this paper is threefold. First, we obtain the precise bounds for the heat kernel on isotropic Heisenberg groups by using well-known results in the three dimensional case. Second, we study the asymptotic estimates at infinity for…
We establish dimension-independent estimates related to heat operators e^{tL} on manifolds. We first develop a very general contractivity result for Markov kernels which can be applied to diffusion semigroups. Second, we develop estimates…
We give estimates for positive solutions for the Schr\"odinger equation $(\Delta_\mu+W)u=0$ on a wide class of parabolic weighted manifolds $(M, d\mu)$ when $W$ decays to zero at infinity faster than quadratically. These can be combined…
In this paper, we systematically study the heat kernel of the Ricci flows induced by Ricci shrinkers. We develop several estimates which are much sharper than their counterparts in general closed Ricci flows. Many classical results,…
We study the triviality of the solutions of weighted superlinear heat equations on Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative Ricci tensor. We prove a Liouville--type theorem for solutions bounded from below with nonnegative initial data, under…
