Existence and functoriality of heat kernels on abstract Wiener groups

Let HG\mathbf H\subset\mathbf G be an abstract Wiener group with Lie algebras hg\mathbf h\subset\mathbf g, and let νt/Nhg\nu_{t/N}^{\mathbf h\subset\mathbf g} denote the corresponding finite-dimensional approximating heat-kernel measures. For a map P:(H1G1)(H2G2)P:(\mathbf H_1\subset\mathbf G_1)\to(\mathbf H_2\subset\mathbf G_2) of abstract Wiener groups, let PP_* denote pushforward. Abstract Wiener-group heat-kernel conjecture. For fixed t0t\geq0, the sequence

exp(νt/Nhg)N\exp_*(\nu_{t/N}^{\mathbf h\subset\mathbf g})^N

has a weak limit with respect to bounded continuous functions on G\mathbf G. These limits, denoted νtHG\nu_t^{\mathbf H\subset\mathbf G}, form a convolution semigroup of inversion-invariant probability measures, and

PνtH1G1=νtH2G2P_*\nu_t^{\mathbf H_1\subset\mathbf G_1}=\nu_t^{\mathbf H_2\subset\mathbf G_2}

for every t0t\geq0. This is presented as the ideal existence result underlying the paper's infinite-dimensional heat-kernel construction.
