Explicit improvements for $\mathrm{L}^p$-estimates related to elliptic systems

We give a simple argument to obtain $\mathrm{L}^p$-boundedness for heat semigroups associated to uniformly strongly elliptic systems on $\mathbb{R}^d$ by using Stein interpolation between Gaussian estimates and hypercontractivity. Our results give $p$ explicitly in terms of ellipticity. It is optimal at the endpoint $p=\infty$. We also obtain $\mathrm{L}^p$-estimates for the gradient of the semigroup, where $p>2$ depends on ellipticity but not on dimension.
