Abstract

In this article, we give an explicit calculation of the partial Fourier transform of the fundamental solution to the □ b -heat equation on quadric submanifolds M⊂ℂn×ℂm. As a consequence, we can also compute the heat kernel associated with the weighted \(\overline{\partial}\)-equation in ℂn when the weight is given by exp (−φ(z,z)⋅λ) where φ:ℂn×ℂn→ℂm is a quadratic, sesquilinear form and λ∈ℝm. Our method involves the representation theory of the Lie group M and the group Fourier transform.
