Heat kernel estimates and the Green functions on multiplier Hermitian manifolds. (Q1848689)

The author focuses on heat kernel estimates on a particular class of conformally Kähler manifolds, the conformal factor being defined through a holomorphic vector field; these manifolds are called multiplier Hermitian. It is known that estimates for the Green function averaged over the action of the group generated by the vector field are crucial for proving the existence of Einstein multiplier Hermitian stuctures on Fano manifolds. The author proves analogous estimates of Li-Yau type for the heat kernel and the Green function. He commences by getting an estimate of the first eigenvalue of the perturbation of the Laplacian, which is introduced essentially by the conformal factor, and proceeds by deriving Harnack estimates for positive solutions of the associated heat equation.
