This work studies the heat equation in a two-phase material with spherical inclusions. Under some appropriate scaling on the size, volume fraction and heat capacity of the inclusions, we derive a coupled system of partial differential equations governing the evolution of the temperature of each phase at a macroscopic level of description. The coupling terms describing the exchange of heat between the phases are obtained by using homogenization techniques originating from [D. Cioranescu, F. Murat,...

Let ${\left(U_t\right)}_{t\ge 0}$ be a Brownian motion valued in the complex projective space $ℂP^{N-1}$. Using unitary spherical harmonics of homogeneous degree zero, we derive the densities of $|U_t^1{|}^2$ and of $\left(\right|U_t^1{|}^2,\left|U_t^2{|}^2\right)$, and express them through Jacobi polynomials in the simplices of $ℝ$ and ${ℝ}^2$ respectively. More generally, the distribution of $\left(\right|U_t^1{|}^2,\cdots ,\left|U_t^k{|}^2\right),2\le k\le N-1$ may be derived using the decomposition of the unitary spherical harmonics under the action of the unitary group $𝒰(N-k+1)$ yet computations become tedious. We also revisit the approach initiated in [13] and based on...
