The author considers the hyperbolic spaces \(\mathbb{H}^n= SO_0(1,n)/ O(n)\), \(\mathbb{H}^n_c= SU(1,n)/U(n)\), and \(\mathbb{H}^n_q= Sp(1,n)/Sp(1)Sp(n)\). With a suitable Riemannian metric and connection, each of these homogeneous spaces is a non-compact symmetric space of rank one. Under very general hypotheses that apply here, it is well known that the heat semigroup associated to the Laplace-Beltrami operator has a unique integral kernel, the heat kernel for the manifold. Using techniques of stochastic analysis, the author obtains closed form expressions for the heat kernels and Green functions on these three families of symmetric spaces.
