Weak continuity and initial trace of the heat orbit #

The Gaussian kernel is even, so the pairing of the heat orbit of an L² datum with an integrable test field equals the pairing of the datum with the heat orbit of the test field. For a smooth compactly supported test field the latter heat orbit is continuous in time, converges to the test field as time decreases to zero, and has a cubic spatial tail uniformly in time, so dominated convergence gives the weak continuity and the initial trace of the heat orbit required in prop:pv-local-solution.

The Gaussian convolution is symmetric: pairing the heat orbit of an L² datum with an integrable function equals pairing the datum with the heat orbit of that function.

The pairing of the datum with the heat orbit of a smooth compactly supported test function is continuous in positive time and converges to the pairing with the test function as time decreases to zero.

(h7) The heat orbit of a datum in J is weakly continuous on (0, τ] and attains the datum weakly as time decreases to zero.
