SynopsisWe prove a lower bound for the Dirichlet heat kernel pD(x,y;t), where x and y are a visible pair of points in an open set D in ℝm.

AbstractThe main topic of this paper is the study of the fundamental solution of the heat equation for the symmetric spaces of positive definite matrices, Pos(n,R).Our first step is to develop a “False Abel Inverse Transform” which transforms functions of compact support on an euclidean space into integrable functions on the symmetric space. The transform is shown to satisfy the relation is the usual Laplacian with a constant drift).Using this transform, we find explicit formulas for the heat kernel in the cases n = 2 and n = 3. These formulas allow us to give the asymptotic development for the heat kernel as t tends to infinity. Finally, we give an upper and lower bound of the same type for the heat kernel.

This chapter describes the construction of a resolvent operator using the Laplace transform of a parametrix for the heat kernel and a perturbative argument. In the equation (μ‎-L) R(μ‎) f = f, R(μ‎) is a right inverse for (μ‎-L). In Hölder spaces, these are the natural elliptic estimates for generalized Kimura diffusions. The chapter first constructs the resolvent kernel using an induction over the maximal codimension of bP, and proves various estimates on it, along with corresponding estimates for the solution operator for the homogeneous Cauchy problem. It then considers holomorphic semi-groups and uses contour integration to construct the solution to the heat equation, concluding with a discussion of Kimura diffusions where all coefficients have the same leading homogeneity.

AbstractWe consider a class of fractal subsets of d formed in a manner analogous to the construction of the Sierpinski carpet. We prove a uniform Harnack inequality for positive harmonic functions; study the heat equation, and obtain upper and lower bounds on the heat kernel which are, up to constants, the best possible; construct a locally isotropic diffusion X and determine its basic properties; and extend some classical Sobolev and Poincaré inequalities to this setting.

This chapter establishes rough estimates on the heat kernel rb,tX for the scalar hypoelliptic operator AbX on X defined in the preceding chapter. By rough estimates, this chapter refers to just the uniform bounds on the heat kernel. The chapter also obtains corresponding bounds for the heat kernels associated with operators AbX and another AbX over ̂X. Moreover, it gives a probabilistic construction of the heat kernels. This chapter also explains the relation of the heat equation for the hypoelliptic Laplacian on X to the wave equation on X and proves that as b → 0, the heat kernel rb,tX converges to the standard heat kernel of X.

In the previous papers, [18] and [19], we have given some basis of a calculus approach to hyperfunctions. We have taken hyperfunctions with the compact support as initial values of the solutions of the heat equation. More precisely, let A′[K] be the space of analytic functionals supported by a compact subset K of Rn and let E(x, t) be the n-dimensional heat kernel given by.

In a recent paper Miranda Jr., Pallara, Paronetto and Preunkert have shown that the classical De Giorgi's heat kernel characterisation of functions of bounded variation on Euclidean space extends to Riemannian manifolds with Ricci curvature bounded from below and which satisfy a uniform lower bound estimate on the volume of geodesic balls of fixed radius. We give a shorter proof of the same result assuming only the lower bound on the Ricci curvature.

The integral maximum principle for the heat equation on a Riemannian manifold is improved and applied to obtain estimates of double integrals of the heat kernel.
