Spectral heat content on a class of fractal sets for subordinate killed Brownian motions (2110.08238v1)

Abstract: We study the spectral heat content for a class of open sets with fractal boundaries determined by similitudes in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$, $d\geq 1$, with respect to subordinate killed Brownian motions via $\alpha/2$-stable subordinators and establish the asymptotic behavior of the spectral heat content as $t\to 0$ for the full range of $\alpha\in (0,2)$. Our main theorems show that these asymptotic behaviors depend on whether the sequence of logarithms of the coefficients of the similitudes is arithmetic when $\alpha\in [d-\b,2)$, where $\b$ is the interior Minkowski dimension of the boundary of the open set. The main tools for proving the theorems are the previous results on the spectral heat content for Brownian motions and the renewal theorem.
