Abstract: In this paper, we study a subelliptic heat kernel on the Lie group SL(2,R) and on its universal covering. The subelliptic structure on SL(2,R) comes from the fibration $SO(2)->SL(2,R)->H^2$ and it can be lifted to its universal covering. First, we derive an integral representation for these heat kernels. These expressions allow us to obtain some asymptotics in small time of the heat kernels and give us a way to compute the subriemannian distances. Then, we establish some gradient estimates and some functional inequalities like a Li-Yau type estimate and a reverse Poincar'e inequality that are valid for both heat kernels.

Review text

The paper deals with the study of a subelliptic heat kernel on the Lie group \(\mathbf{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})\) and on its universal covering \(\widetilde{\mathbf{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})}.\) The subelliptic structure on \(\mathbf{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})\) comes from the fibration \(SO(2) \rightarrow \mathbf{SL}(2,\mathbb{R}) \rightarrow H^{2}\) and it can be lifted to \(\widetilde{\mathbf{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})}.\) Precisely, the author derives an integral representation for these heat kernels. These expressions allow him to obtain some asymptotics in small times of the heat kernels and give a way to compute the subriemannian distance. As a consequence, some gradient estimates and some functional inequalities are established such as a Li-Yau type estimate and a reverse Poincaré inequality valid for both heat kernels.
