Harmonic maps and representations of non-uniform lattices of PU ( m , 1 )

Vincent Koziarz, Julien Maubon (2008)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We study representations of lattices of PU ( m , 1 ) into PU ( n , 1 ) . We show that if a representation is reductive and if m is at least 2, then there exists a finite energy harmonic equivariant map from complex hyperbolic m -space to complex hyperbolic n -space. This allows us to give a differential geometric proof of rigidity results obtained by M. Burger and A. Iozzi. We also define a new invariant associated to representations into PU ( n , 1 ) of non-uniform lattices in PU ( 1 , 1 ) , and more generally of fundamental groups of orientable...

Heat kernel and semigroup estimates for sublaplacians with drift on Lie groups.

Nick Dungey (2005)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Let G be a Lie group. The main new result of this paper is an estimate in L2 (G) for the Davies perturbation of the semigroup generated by a centered sublaplacian H on G. When G is amenable, such estimates hold only for sublaplacians which are centered. Our semigroup estimate enables us to give new proofs of Gaussian heat kernel estimates established by Varopoulos on amenable Lie groups and by Alexopoulos on Lie groups of polynomial growth.

Heat kernel estimates for a class of higher order operators on Lie groups

Nick Dungey (2005)

Studia Mathematica

Let G be a Lie group of polynomial volume growth. Consider a differential operator H of order 2m on G which is a sum of even powers of a generating list A , . . . , A d ' of right invariant vector fields. When G is solvable, we obtain an algebraic condition on the list A , . . . , A d ' which is sufficient to ensure that the semigroup kernel of H satisfies global Gaussian estimates for all times. For G not necessarily solvable, we state an analytic condition on the list which is necessary and sufficient for global Gaussian estimates....

Heat kernels and Riesz transforms on nilpotent Lie groups

A. ter Elst, Derek Robinson, Adam Sikora (1998)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We consider pure mth order subcoercive operators with complex coefficients acting on a connected nilpotent Lie group. We derive Gaussian bounds with the correct small time singularity and the optimal large time asymptotic behaviour on the heat kernel and all its derivatives, both right and left. Further we prove that the Riesz transforms of all orders are bounded on the Lp -spaces with p ∈ (1, ∞). Finally, for second-order operators with real coefficients we derive matching Gaussian lower bounds...
