On the semi-additivity of the $1/2$-symmetric caloric capacity

Abstract

In this paper we study properties of a variant of the $1/2$-caloric capacity, called $1/2$-symmetric caloric capacity. The latter is associated simultaneously with the $1/2$-fractional heat equation and its conjugate. We establish its semi-additivity in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ and, moreover, we compute explicitly the $1/2$-symmetric caloric capacity of rectangles, which illustrates its anisotropic behavior.
