controllability cost of conservative systems resolvent condition and transmutation abstract this article concerns the exact controllability of unitary groups on hilbert spaces with unbounded control operator it provides a necessary and sufficient condition not involving time which blends a resolvent estimate and an observability inequality by the transmutation of controls in some time l for the corresponding second order conservative system it is proved that the cost of controls in time t for the unitary group grows at most like exp l 2 t as t tends to 0 in the application to the cost of fast controls for the schrodinger equation l is the length of the longest ray of geometric optics which does not intersect the control region this article also provides observability resolvent estimates implying fast smoothing effect controllability at low cost and underscores that the controllability cost of a system is not changed by taking its tensor product with a conservative system

on the upper estimate of the heat kernel of a complete riemannian manifold let m be a complete non compact riemannian manifold whose sectional curvature is bounded between two constants k and k then one expects that the heat diffusion in such a manifold behaves like the heat diffusion in euclidean space the purpose of this paper is to give a justification of such a statement in 5 j cheeger and the third author found a lower estimate of the heat kernel by comparing it with the heat kernel of the space form whose curvature is the lower bound of the curvature of the manifold this lower estimate is sharp if we insist the dependence should be on the lower bound of the ricci curvature alone it remains to give an upper estimate of the heat kernel one does not however expect to have a comparison theorem for the upper bound because it is more sensitive to the geometry of the manifold in fact the heat kernel of the upper hialf space and the heat kernel of the complete hyperbolic manifold with finite volume have quite different behavior this is reflected by the fact that the laplacian has no discrete spectrum in the first case while infinite number of discrete eigenvalues may exist in the latter case what we will prove here is that in any case the heat kernel has to decay in a manner similar to the euclidean heat kernel thus we will prove that for any constant c 4 there exists c1 depending on c t the bound of the curvature of m and x so that for all t e 0 t
