English Abstract
We study the heat equation $\frac{\partial u}{\partial t}-\Delta u=0,\ u(x,0)=\omega (x),$ where $\Delta :=dd^{*}+d^{*}d$ is the Hodge laplacian and $u(\cdot ,t)$ and $\omega $ are $p$-differential forms in the complete ...Read more >
We study the heat equation $\frac{\partial u}{\partial t}-\Delta u=0,\ u(x,0)=\omega (x),$ where $\Delta :=dd^{*}+d^{*}d$ is the Hodge laplacian and $u(\cdot ,t)$ and $\omega $ are $p$-differential forms in the complete Riemannian manifold $(M,g).$ Under weak bounded geometrical assumptions we get estimates on its semigroup of the form: acting on $p$-forms with $p\geq 1$ and $k\geq 0$: $\displaystyle \forall t\geq 1,\ {\left\Vert{\nabla ^{k}e^{-t\Delta_{p}}}\right\Vert}_{L^{r}(M)-L^{r}(M)}\leq c(n,r,k).$ Acting on functions, i.e. with $p=0,$ we get a better result: $\displaystyle \forall k\geq 1,\ \forall t\geq 1,\ {\left\Vert{\nabla ^{k}e^{-t\Delta }}\right\Vert}_{L^{r}(M)-L^{r}(M)}\leq c(n,r,k)t^{-1/2}.$Read less <
