The contractivity of the time derivative of the heat semigroup in $L^p$ spaces

Let $M$ be a complete manifold. The heat semigroup $e^{-tL}$ is bounded on $L^p(M)$, for any $1 \leq p \leq \infty$; see this for instance. It seems that we can deduce the time derivative of the heat ...

The semigroup of Laplace-Beltrami operator on 3-flat torus

I am studying a recent paper in which the author worked on the rectangular, flat 3 tori. It can be realized, the author explained, as $\mathbb{R}^3 \over (L_1 \mathbb Z \times L_2 \mathbb Z \times L_3 ...

The contractivity of the heat semigroup in $L^p$ spaces

Let $M$ be a Riemannian manifold. By functional calculus, it is immediate to show that the heat semigroup is a contraction in $L^2(M)$. I can also show that it is a contraction in any $L^p(M)$ with $p ...
