The tensor product of two Fredholm operators

What can be said about the tensor product $T\otimes S$ of two Fredholm operators $T:X_1\to Y_1$ and $S:X_2 \to Y_2$ where $X_1,X_2,Y_1, Y_2$ are Banach spaces and tensor product of ...

Why are we interested in spectral gaps for Laplacian operators

Let $M$ be a Riemannian manifold and let $\Delta$ be its Laplacian operator. There is a large literature on a spectral gap for such a $\Delta$, that is, finding an interval $(0,c)$ which does not ...

What is the generator of the heat semigroup on non-complete manifolds?

If $M$ is a complete Riemannian manifold, it possesses a unique self-adjoint positive operator $-\Delta$ on $L^2(M)$. If $M$ is not complete, though, it is known that the Laplace-Beltrami operator $-\...

Gaussian bounds for the heat kernel of regular domains in Riemannian manifolds

In "Heat Kernels and Spectral Theory" Davies constructs upper and lower bounds for the kernels associated to Dirichlet elliptic operators on regular domains of $\mathbb R^n$. Has anybody done the same ...

de Rahm Laplace operator on forms bounded

Let $M$ be a closed differentiable manifold. Let $E^{p}(M)$ be the vector space of $p$-forms on $M$ equipped with the $L^{2}$-inner product $(\alpha, \beta) = \int_{M}\alpha \wedge \star \beta$. The ...
