Let $M$ be a compact smooth manifold without boundary. Let $T>0$ and let $g$ be a smooth Riemannian metric on $M$. Given any $f \in L^2(M)$ let $u$ be the unique solution to the equation $$\...

Let $X$ be a smooth, Riemannian manifold. It is known that the geometry of $X$ can be recovered from its heat kernel $k_{t}(x,y)$, using Varadhan's Lemma: $\displaystyle\lim_{t \to 0} t \log k_{t}(x,y)...

Let $M$ be a compact Riemannian manifold, and $K(t;z,w)$ the heat kernel associated to the usual Laplace-Beltrami operator on functions. There are results of the form $$K(t;z,z) \leq \frac{C_M}{f_z(t)...
