Estimates of heat kernels and Sobolev-type inequalities for twisted differential forms on compact K\"ahler manifolds

Abstract

The main goal of this paper is to generalize the Sobolev-type inequalities given by Guo-Phong-Song-Sturm and Guedj-T\^o from the case of functions to the framework of twisted differential forms. To this end, we establish certain estimates of heat kernels for differential forms with values in holomorphic vector bundles over compact K\"ahler manifolds. As applications of these estimates, we also prove a vanishing theorem and give certain $L^{q,p}$-estimates for the $\bar\partial$-operator on twisted differential forms.
