The subelliptic heat kernel of the octonionic Hopf fibration

From MaRDI portal
Publication:2048843



Abstract: We study the sub-Laplacian of the 15-dimensional unit sphere which is obtained by lifting with respect to the Hopf fibration the Laplacian of the octonionic projective space. We obtain in particular explicit formulas for its heat kernel and deduce an expression for the Green function of a related sub-Laplacian. As a byproduct we also obtain the spectrum of the sub-Laplacian, the small-time asymptotics of the heat kernel and explicitly compute the sub-Riemannian distance.
