We consider the heat equation associated with a class of hypoelliptic operators of Kolmogorov-Fokker-Planck type in dimension two. We explicitly compute the first meaningful coefficient of the small time asymptotic expansion of the heat kernel on the diagonal, and we interpret it in terms of curvature-like invariants of the optimal control problem associated with the diffusion. This gives a first example of geometric interpretation of the small-time heat kernel asymptotics of non-homogeneous Hormander operators which are not associated with a sub-Riemannian structure, i.e., whose second-order part does not satisfy the Hormander condition.

We study the degenerate Kolmogorov equations (also known as kinetic Fokker-Planck equations) in nondivergence form. The leading coefficients $a^{ij}$ are merely measurable in $t$ and satisfy the vanishing mean oscillation (VMO) condition in $x, v$ wi th respect to some quasi-metric. We also assume boundedness and uniform nondegeneracy of $a^{ij}$ with respect to $v$. We prove global a priori estimates in weighted mixed-norm Lebesgue spaces and solvability results. We also show an application of the main result to the Landau equation. Our proof does not rely on any kernel estimates.

We derive a diffusion approximation for the kinetic Vlasov-Fokker-Planck equation in bounded spatial domains with specular reflection type boundary conditions. The method of proof involves the construction of a particular class of test functions to b e chosen in the weak formulation of the kinetic model. This involves the analysis of the underlying Hamiltonian dynamics of the kinetic equation coupled with the reflection laws at the boundary. This approach only demands the solution family to be weakly compact in some weighted Hilbert space rather than the much tricky $mathrm L^1$ setting.

In the first part of this work, we consider second order supersymmetric differential operators in the semiclassical limit, including the Kramers-Fokker-Planck operator, such that the exponent of the associated Maxwellian $phi$ is a Morse function wit h two local minima and one saddle point. Under suitable additional assumptions of dynamical nature, we establish the long time convergence to the equilibrium for the associated heat semigroup, with the rate given by the first non-vanishing, exponentially small, eigenvalue. In the second part of the paper, we consider the case when the function $phi$ has precisely one local minimum and one saddle point. We also discuss further examples of supersymmetric operators, including the Witten Laplacian and the infinitesimal generator for the time evolution of a chain of classical anharmonic oscillators.

In this paper, we study the prescribed $Q$-curvature flow equation on a arbitrary even dimensional closed Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$, which was introduced by S. Brendle in cite{B2003}, where he proved the flow exists for long time and converges at i nfinity if the GJMS operator is weakly positive with trivial kernel and $int_M Qdmu < (n-1)!Volleft( S^n right) $. In this paper we study the critical case that $int_M Qdmu = (n-1)!Volleft( S^n right)$, we will prove the convergence of the flow under some geometric hypothesis. In particular, this gives a new proof of Li-Li-Lius existence result in cite{LLL2012} in dimensiona 4 and extend the work of Li-Zhu cite{LZ2019} in dimension 2 to general even dimensions. In the proof, we give a explicit expression of the limit of the corresponding energy functional when the blow up occurs.

We establish precise upper and lower bounds for the subelliptic heat kernel on nilpotent Lie groups $G$ of H-type. Specifically, we show that there exist positive constants $C_1$, $C_2$ and a polynomial correction function $Q_t$ on $G$ such that $$C_ 1 Q_t e^{-frac{d^2}{4t}} le p_t le C_2 Q_t e^{-frac{d^2}{4t}}$$ where $p_t$ is the heat kernel, and $d$ the Carnot-Caratheodory distance on $G$. We also obtain similar bounds on the norm of its subelliptic gradient $| abla p_t|$. Along the way, we record explicit formulas for the distance function $d$ and the subriemannian geodesics of H-type groups.
