Genuinely sharp heat kernel estimates on compact rank-one symmetric spaces, for Jacobi expansions, on a ball and on a simplex (1905.10581v1)

Abstract: We prove genuinely sharp two-sided global estimates for heat kernels on all compact rank-one symmetric spaces. This generalizes the authors' recent result obtained for a Euclidean sphere of arbitrary dimension. Furthermore, similar heat kernel bounds are shown in the context of classical Jacobi expansions, on a ball and on a simplex. These results are more precise than the qualitatively sharp Gaussian estimates proved recently by several authors.
