This chapter proves the formula that was stated in Chapter 6. It first states various estimates on the hypoelliptic heat kernels, which are valid for b ≥ 1 and then makes a natural rescaling on the coordinates parametrizing ̂X. Next, the chapter introduces a conjugation on the Clifford variables and shows that the norm of the term defining the conjugation can be adequately controlled. The chapter then introduces a conjugate ℒA,bX of another ℒA,bX and its associated heat kernel. Afterward, the chapter obtains the limit as b → +∞ of the rescaled heat kernel, thus establishing the formula in Chapter 6. After further computations, this chapter states a result on convergence of heat kernels.

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.

AbstractWe obtain an explicit formula for heat kernels of Lorentz cones, a family of classical symmetric cones. By this formula, the heat kernel of a Lorentz cone is expressed by a function of time t and two eigenvalues of an element in the cone. We obtain also upper and lower bounds for the heat kernels of Lorentz cones.

Abstract We give another proof of Poisson’s integral formula for harmonic functions in a ball or a half space by using heat kernels with Green’s formula. We wish to emphasize that this method works well even for a half space, which is an unbounded domain; the functions involved are integrable, since the heat kernel decays rapidly. This method needs no trick such as the subordination identity, which is indispensable when applying the Fourier transform method for a half space.

AbstractWe prove that on an asymptotically Euclidean boundary groupoid, the heat kernel of the Laplacian is a smooth groupoid pseudo-differential operator.

AbstractIn this paper we present an elementary proof of a pointwise radial monotonicity property of heat kernels that is shared by the Euclidean spaces, spheres and hyperbolic spaces. The main result was discovered by Cheeger and Yau in 1981 and rediscovered in special cases during the last few years. It deals with the monotonicity of the heat kernel from special points on revolution hypersurfaces. Our proof hinges on a non straightforward but elementary application of the parabolic maximum principle. As a consequence of the monotonicity property, we derive new inequalities involving classical special functions.

AbstractWe study the subelliptic heat kernels of the CR three-dimensional solvable Lie groups. We first classify all left-invariant sub-Riemannian structures on three-dimensional solvable Lie groups and obtain representations of these groups. We give expressions for the heat kernels on these groups and obtain heat semigroup gradient bounds using a new type of curvature-dimension inequality.

The sub-Laplacian on the Heisenberg group and the Grushin operator are typical examples of sub-elliptic operators. Their heat kernels are both given in the form of Laplace-type integrals. By using Laplace's method, the method of stationary phase and the method of steepest descent, we derive the small-time asymptotic expansions for these heat kernels, which are related to the geodesic structure of the induced geometries.

The heat kernel for the Cauchy–Riemann subLaplacian on S2n+1 is derived in a manner which is completely analogous to the classical derivation of elliptic heat kernels. This suggests that the classical Hamiltonian construction of elliptic heat kernels, with appropriate modifications, will yield heat kernels for subelliptic operators.

We consider a graph $G$ and a covering $\tilde{G}$ of $G$ and we study the relations of their eigenvalues and heat kernels. We evaluate the heat kernel for an infinite $k$-regular tree and we examine the heat kernels for general $k$-regular graphs. In particular, we show that a $k$-regular graph on $n$ vertices has at most $$ (1+o(1)) {{2\log n}\over {kn \log k}} \left( {{ (k-1)^{k-1}}\over {(k^2-2k)^{k/2-1}}}\right)^n $$ spanning trees, which is best possible within a constant factor.
