Why heat kernel is a dirac sequence?

63 Views Asked by At

I want to show that the heat kernel $\displaystyle\gamma_t(x) := \frac{1}{(4\pi t)^{d/2}} \exp\left( - \frac{|x|^2}{4t} \right), \quad x \in \mathbb{R}^d, \ t > 0$

is a Dirac sequence. $\gamma_t \ge 0$ is obvious and $\int_{\mathbb{R}^d} \gamma_t(x) \ \mathrm{d}x = 1$ I have already proved using Transformation. Now I have to show that $\int_{\mathbb{R}^d - B_{\delta}(0)} \gamma_t(x) \ \mathrm{d}x \to 0$ for $t \to \infty$. I know that $\int_{\mathbb{R}^d - B_{\delta}(0)} \gamma_t(x) \ \mathrm{d}x = \int_{\mathbb{R}^d} \gamma_t(x) \ \mathrm{d}x - \int_{B_{\delta}(0)} \gamma_t(x) \ \mathrm{d}x$. Since $\int_{\mathbb{R}^d} \gamma_t(x) \ \mathrm{d}x = 1$ it is left to prove that $\int_{B_{\delta}(0)} \gamma_t(x) \ \mathrm{d}x \to 1$ for $t \to \infty$. I have tried this: $\int_{B_{\delta}(0)} \frac{1}{(4\pi t)^{d/2}} \exp\left( - \frac{|x|^2}{4t} \right) \ \mathrm{d}x = \frac{1}{\pi^{d/2}} \prod\limits_{i=1}^d \int_{-\delta}^{\delta} \exp(-|z|^2) \ \mathrm{d}z$ with Transformation. But why does this converge to 1 for $t \to \infty$?
