Abstract

We study the horizontal Laplacian ΔH associated to the Hopf fibration S3 → S2 with arbitrary Chern number k. We use representation theory to calculate the spectrum, describe the heat kernel and obtain the complete heat trace asymptotics of ΔH. We express the Green functions for associated Poisson semigroups and obtain bounds for their contraction properties and Sobolev inequalities for ΔH. The bounds and inequalities improve as |k | increases.
