Smoothing property of the heat kernel on the one-dimensional torus

Let $G=G(x,t)$ be the heat kernel on the one-dimensional torus $\mathbb{T}^1,$ with $x \in \mathbb{T}^1$ and $t \in (0,T].$ $G$ is given by \begin{equation} G(x,t) = (4 \pi t)^{-1/2} \sum_{k \in \...

Convolution with the Jacobi Theta-function on "both the space and time variables" - still jointly smooth?

Let $\Theta(x,t)$ be the Jacobi-Theta function: \begin{equation} \Theta(x,t):=1+\sum_{n=1}^\infty e^{-\pi n^2 t} \cos(2\pi n x) \end{equation} Usually, the heat equation with the periodic boundary ...

Convergence of semi convex functions

Definition. Let $u:\Omega \rightarrow \mathbb{R} $. A function $u$ is called semiconvex if $u=v+w$ for some $v\in C^{1,1}(\Omega)$ and a convex function $w$. Note. Saying that $u$ is semiconvex is ...
