Abstract:
Let where , and , and are the left-invariant vector fields of the Heisenberg group structure for . We explicitly compute the Fourier transform (in the spatial variables) of the fundamental solution of the heat equation . As a consequence, we have a simplified computation of the Fourier transform of the fundamental solution of the -heat equation on the Heisenberg group and an explicit kernel of the heat equation associated to the weighted -operator in with weight , where and .
