Yet another heat semigroup characterization of BV functions on Riemannian manifolds
Annales de la Faculté des sciences de Toulouse : Mathématiques, Série 6, Tome 32 (2023) no. 3, pp. 577-606.

Ce papier caractérise sur les variétés riemanniennes compactes les fonctions a variation bornée á l’aide d’asymptotiques en temps petit du semigroupe de la chaleur. En particulier, on montre comment la variation totale d’une fonction peut être calculée à partir du noyau de la chaleur. Nous utilisons deux approches disjointes, une approche probabiliste et une approche analytique ; ces deux approches ont des avantages différents et potentiellement peuvent être généralisées dans des contextes distincts.

This paper provides a characterization of functions of bounded variation (BV) in a compact Riemannian manifold in terms of the short time behavior of the heat semigroup. In particular, the main result proves that the total variation of a function equals the limit characterizing the space BV. The proof is carried out following two fully independent approaches, a probabilistic and an analytic one; each method presents different advantages.
