Abstract:

The authors obtain an explicit expression of the heat kernel for the Cayley
Heisenberg group of order n by using the stochastic integral method of Gaveau. Apart
from the standard Heisenberg group and the quaternionic Heisenberg group, this is the only
nilpotent Lie group on which an explicit formula for the heat kernel has been obtained.

Key words: Cayley Heisenberg group, heat kernel, sub-Laplace operator
