The \(\square_b\)-heat equation on quadric manifolds (Q535593)

The purpose of this paper is to present a simplified calculation of the Fourier transform of the fundamental solution of the \(\square_b\)-heat equation on quadric manifolds. The authors give an explicit calculation of the partial Fourier transform of the fundamental solution to the \(\square_b\)-heat equation on quadric submanifolds \(M \subset \mathbb C^n \times \mathbb C^m\). In particular, they compute the heat kernel associated with the weighted \(\overline{\partial}\)-equation in \(\mathbb C^n\) when the weight is given by \(\text{exp}\big(-\varphi (z,z)\cdot \lambda\big)\) where \(\varphi :\mathbb C^n \times \mathbb C^n \rightarrow \mathbb C^m\) is a quadratic, sesquilinear form and \(\lambda \in \mathbb R^m\). Their method involves the representation theory of the Lie group \(M\) and the group Fourier transform.
