Heat kernel estimates and Lp spectral theory of locally symmetric spaces

Meer over het boek

In this work we derive upper Gaussian bounds for the heat kernel on locally symmetric spaces of non-compact type. Furthermore, we determine explicitly the Lp-spectrum of locally symmetric spaces M whose universal covering is a rank one symmetric space of non-compact type if either the fundamental group of M is small (in a certain sense) or if the fundamental group is arithmetic and M is non-compact.
