Continuity at infinity of solutions of heat equation on complete manifolds (Q2782745)

Consider the heat equation on a complete Riemannian manifold \(M\), the Ricci curvature of which is bounded below. Its solution is given (under some conditions) by a semigroup \(P_tf\) acting on functions \(f\) satisfying some growth condition; it can be stochastically interpreted by means of the Brownian motion on \(M\). If one considers a one-point extension \(M'=M\cup\{\bar x\}\) of \(M\), the aim of this work is to study conditions on the manifold and on \(f\) ensuring that \(P_tf(x)\) converges to \(f(\bar x)\) as \(x\to\bar x\). Notice that \(M'\) is not assumed to be compact, so that this study can be applied to various compactifications of \(M\).
