Hypoelliptic Random Heat Kernels: a Case Study
We consider the fundamental solution of a simple hypoelliptic stochastic partial differential equation in which the first-order term is modulated by white noise. We derive some short-time asymptotic formulæ. We discover that the form of the dominant short-time asymptotics depends nontrivially upon the interplay between the geometry of the noisy first-order term and the geometry defined by the h...
متن کاملShort-time Asymptotics of Heat Kernels for a Class of Hypoelliptic Operators
We compute the short-time asymptotics of heat kernels for a family of hypoelliptic operators, and we relate these to the value function of an associated variational problem previously investigated in the control theory literature. These heat kernels generalize to the noncontact case a heat kernel that has been previously obtained for the contact hypoelliptic Laplacian defined on the Heisenberg ...
متن کاملSome new properties of biharmonic heat kernels
Contrary to the second order case, biharmonic heat kernels are sign-changing. A deep knowledge of their behaviour may however allow to prove positivity results for solutions of the Cauchy problem. We establish further properties of these kernels, we prove some Lorch-Szegö-type monotonicity results and we give some hints on how to obtain similar results for higher polyharmonic parabolic problems.
متن کاملSharp Hypoelliptic Estimates for Some Kinetic Equations
We provide a simple overview of some hypoellipticity results with sharp indices for a class of kinetic equations and we outline a general strategy based on some geometrical properties.
متن کاملSome New Examples with Quasi-positive Curvature
As a means to better understanding manifolds with positive curvature, there has been much recent interest in the study of nonnegatively curved manifolds which contain a point at which all 2-planes have positive curvature. We show that there are generalisations of the well-known Eschenburg spaces together with quotients of S×S which admit metrics with this property. It is an unfortunate fact tha...
