Davies' method for heat-kernel esimates: An extension to the semi-elliptic setting | Evan Randles

1 Aug 2019 | Abstract: | We consider a class of constant-coefficient partial differential operators on
a finite-dimensional real vector space which exhibit a natural dilation
invariance. Typically, these operators are anisotropic, allowing for different
degrees in different directions. The heat kernels associated to these so-called
positive-homogeneous operators are seen to arise naturally as the limits of
convolution powers of complex-valued measures, just as the classical heat
kernel appears in the central limit theorem. Building on the
functional-analytic approach developed by E. B. Davies for higher-order
uniformly elliptic operators with measurable coefficients, we formulate a
general theory for (anisotropic) self-adjoint variable-coefficient operators,
each comparable to a positive-homogeneous operator, and study their associated
heat kernels. Specifically, under three abstract hypotheses, we show that the
heat kernels satisfy off-diagonal (Gaussian type) estimates involving the
Legendre-Fenchel transform of the operator’s principle symbol. Our results
extend those of E. B. Davies and G. Barbatis and partially extend results of A.
