This is first of series papers on new two-side Gaussian bounds for the heat kernel $H(x,y,t)$ on a complete manifold $(M,g)$. In this paper, on a complete manifold $M$ with $Ric(M)\geq 0$, we obtain new two-side Gaussian bounds for the heat…

We show that, on a complete, connected and non-compact Riemannian manifold of non-negative Ricci curvature, the solution to the heat equation with $L^{1}$ initial data behaves asymptotically as the mass times the heat kernel. In contrast to…

We find a Gaussian off-diagonal heat kernel estimate for uniformly elliptic operators with measurable coefficients acting on regions $\Omega\subseteq\real^N$, where the order $2m$ of the operator satisfies $N<2m$. The estimate is expressed…

Let $L_t:=\Delta_t +Z_t $, $t\in [0,T_c)$ on a differential manifold equipped with time-depending complete Riemannian metric $(g_t)_{t\in [0,T_c)}$, where $\Delta_t$ is the Laplacian induced by $g_t$ and $(Z_t)_{t\in [0,T_c)}$ is a family…
