AbstractWe study the Riemannian Laplace-Beltrami operator L on a Riemannian manifold with Heisenberg group H1 as boundary. We calculate the heat kernel and Green's function for L, and give global and small time estimates of the heat kernel. A class of hypersurfaces in this manifold can be regarded as approximations of H1. We also restrict L to each hypersurface and calculate the corresponding heat kernel and Green's function. We will see that the heat kernel and Green's function converge to the heat kernel and Green's function on the boundary.

Green's function for the Laplace–Beltrami operator on the surface of a three-dimensional ring torus is constructed. An integral ingredient of our approach is the stereographic projection of the torus surface onto a planar annulus. Our representation for Green's function is written in terms of the Schottky–Klein prime function associated with the annulus and the dilogarithm function. We also consider an application of our results to vortex dynamics on the surface of a torus.

AbstractThis paper is a preliminary work on Heisenberg group domains, devoted to the study of the Green’s function for the Kohn Laplacian on domains far away from the set of characteristic points. We give some estimates of the Green’s function, its regular part and their derivatives analogous to those proved by A. Bahri, Y.Y. Li, O. Rey in [1], and O. Rey in [16] for Euclidean domains. While the study of such functions on the set of characteristic points of the given domain will be discussed in a forthcoming paper.

A procedure to obtain accurate solutions for many transient conduction problems in complex geometries using a Galerkin-based integral (GBI) method is presented. The nonhomogeneous boundary conditions are accommodated by the Green’s function solution technique. A Green’s function obtained by the GBI method exhibits excellent large-time accuracy. It is shown that the time partitioning of the Green’s function yields accurate small-time and large-time solutions. In one example, a hollow cylinder with convective inner surface and prescribed heat flux at the outer surface is considered. Only a few terms for both large-time and small-time solutions are sufficient to produce results with excellent accuracy. The methodology used for homogeneous solids is modified for application to complex heterogeneous solids.

Sharp upper and lower pointwise bounds are obtained for the Green's function of the equationfor λ> 0. Initially, in a Cartesian frame, it is assumed that . Pointwise estimates for the heat kernel of ut + Lu = 0, recently obtained under this assumption, are Laplace-transformed to yield corresponding elliptic results. In a second approach, the coordinate-free constraint is imposed. Within this class of operators, the equations defining the maximal and minimal Green's functions are found to be simple ODEs when written in polar coordinates, and these are soluble in terms of the singular Kummer confluent hypergeometric function. For both approaches, bounds on are derived as a consequence.

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.
