Abstract: We consider certain constant-coefficient differential operators on $mathbb{R}^d$ with positive-definite symbols. Each such operator $Lambda$ with symbol $P$ defines a semigroup $e^{-tLambda}$ , $t>0$ , admitting a convolution kernel $H_P^t$ for which the large-time behavior of $H_P^t(0)$ cannot be deduced by basic scaling arguments. The simplest example has symbol $P(xi)=(eta+zet{a}^2{)}^2+et{a}^4$ , $xi=(eta,zeta)inmathbb{R}^2$ . We devise a method to establish large-time asymptotics of $H_P^t(0)$ for several classes of examples of this type and we show that these asymptotics are preserved by perturbations by certain higher-order differential operators. For the $P$ just given, it turns out that $H_P^t(0)sim{c}_P{t}^{-5/8}$ as $toinfty$ . We show how such results are relevant to understand the convolution powers of certain complex functions on $mathbb{Z}^d$ . Our work represents a first basic step towards a good understanding of the semigroups associated with these operators. Obtaining meaningful off-diagonal upper bounds for $H_P^t$ remains an interesting challenge.
