Large time behaviour of heat kernels on non-compact manifolds: fast and slow decays

Thierry Coulhon (1998)

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

Similarity:

In this talk we shall present some joint work with A. Grigory’an. Upper and lower estimates on the rate of decay of the heat kernel on a complete non-compact riemannian manifold have recently been obtained in terms of the geometry at infinity of the manifold, more precisely in terms of a kind of L 2 isoperimetric profile. The main point is to connect the decay of the L 1 - L ∞ norm of the heat semigroup with some adapted Nash or Faber-Krahn inequalities, which is done by functional analytic methods....

A geometric approach to on-diagonal heat kernel lower bounds on groups

Thierry Coulhon, Alexander Grigor'yan, Christophe Pittet (2001)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

We introduce a new method for obtaining heat kernel on-diagonal lower bounds on non- compact Lie groups and on infinite discrete groups. By using this method, we are able to recover the previously known results for unimodular amenable Lie groups as well as for certain classes of discrete groups including the polycyclic groups, and to give them a geometric interpretation. We also obtain new results for some discrete groups which admit the structure of a semi-direct product or of a wreath...

Riesz meets Sobolev

Thierry Coulhon, Adam Sikora (2010)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We show that the L p boundedness, p > 2, of the Riesz transform on a complete non-compact Riemannian manifold with upper and lower Gaussian heat kernel estimates is equivalent to a certain form of Sobolev inequality. We also characterize in such terms the heat kernel gradient upper estimate on manifolds with polynomial growth.
