It is known that the couple formed by the two dimensional Brownian motion and its Levy area leads to the heat kernel on the Heisenberg group, which is one of the simplest sub-Riemannian space. The associated diffusion operator is hypoelliptic but not elliptic, which makes difficult the derivation of functional inequalities for the heat kernel. However, Driver and Melcher and more recently H.-Q. Li have obtained useful gradient bounds for the heat kernel on the Heisenberg group. We provide in this paper simple proofs of these bounds, and explore their consequences in terms of functional inequalities, including Cheeger and Bobkov type isoperimetric inequalities for the heat kernel.

This paper presents a detailed analysis of the heat kernel on an $(mathbb{N}timesmathbb{N})$-parameter family of compact metric measure spaces, which do not satisfy the volume doubling property. In particular, uniform bounds of the heat kernel and its Lipschitz continuity, as well as the continuity of the corresponding heat semigroup are studied; a specific example is presented revealing a logarithmic correction. The estimates are further applied to derive several functional inequalities of interest in describing the convergence to equilibrium of the diffusion process.
We give a direct proof of the sharp two-sided estimates, recently established in [4,9], for the Dirichlet heat kernel of the fractional Laplacian with gradient perturbation in $C^{1, 1}$ open sets by using Duhamel formula. We also obtain a gradient estimate for the Dirichlet heat kernel. Our assumption on the open set is slightly weaker in that we only require $D$ to be $C^{1,theta}$ for some $thetain (alpha/2, 1]$.
We investigate observability and Lipschitz stability for the Heisenberg heat equation on the rectangular domain $$Omega = (-1,1)timesmathbb{T}timesmathbb{T}$$ taking as observation regions slices of the form $omega=(a,b) times mathbb{T} times mathbb{T}$ or tubes $omega = (a,b) times omega_y times mathbb{T}$, with $-1<a<b<1$. We prove that observability fails for an arbitrary time $T>0$ but both observability and Lipschitz stability hold true after a positive minimal time, which depends on the distance between $omega$ and the boundary of $Omega$: $$T_{min} geqslant frac{1}{8} min{(1+a)^2,(1-b)^2}.$$ Our proof follows a mixed strategy which combines the approach by Lebeau and Robbiano, which relies on Fourier decomposition, with Carleman inequalities for the heat equations that are solved by the Fourier modes. We extend the analysis to the unbounded domain $(-1,1)timesmathbb{T}timesmathbb{R}$.

In this paper, we obtain upper and lower bounds for the moments of the solution to a class of fractional stochastic heat equations on the ball driven by a Gaussian noise which is white in time, and with a spatial correlation in space of Riesz kernel type. We also consider the space-time white noise case on an interval.
By using Duhamels formula, we prove sharp two-sided estimates for the heat kernel of spectral fractional Laplacian with time-dependent gradient perturbation in bounded $C^{1,1}$ domains. Moreover, we also obtain gradient estimate as well as Holder continuity of the gradient of the heat kernel.
