چکیده
We study fundamental solutions to second order parabolic systems of divergence type with time independent coefficients, and give another proof of a result by Auscher, McIntosh and Tchamitchian on the Gaussian bounds for the heat kernels of second order elliptic operators in divergence form with complex bounded measurable coefficients.

Gaussian Estimates for Fundamental Solutions of Second Order Parabolic Systems with Time-independent Coefficients
Abstract. Auscher, McIntosh and Tchamitchian studied the heat kernels of second order elliptic operators in divergence form with complex bounded measurable coefficients on Rn. In particular, in the case when n = 2 they obtained Gaussian upper bound estimates for the heat kernel without imposing further assumption on the coefficients. We study the fundamental solutions of the systems of second o...
متن کاملSymmetric Jump Processes and their Heat Kernel Estimates
We survey the recent development of the DeGiorgi-Nash-Moser-Aronson type theory for a class of symmetric jump processes (or equivalently, a class of symmetric integro-differential operators). We focus on the sharp two-sided estimates for the transition density functions (or heat kernels) of the processes, a priori Hölder estimate and parabolic Harnack inequalities for their parabolic functions....
متن کامل[hal-00830563, v1] Heat Kernel Bounds for Elliptic Partial Differential Operators in Divergence Form with Robin-Type Boundary Conditions
The principal aim of this short note is to extend a recent result on Gaussian heat kernel bounds for self-adjoint L2(Ω; dnx)-realizations, n ∈ N, n > 2, of divergence form elliptic partial differential expressions L with (nonlocal) Robin-type boundary conditions in bounded Lipschitz domains Ω ⊂ Rn, where
متن کاملThe Solution of the Kato Problem for Divergence Form Elliptic Operators with Gaussian Heat Kernel Bounds
We solve the Kato problem for divergence form elliptic operators whose heat kernels satisfy a pointwise Gaussian upper bound. More precisely, given the Gaussian hypothesis, we establish that the domain of the square root of a complex uniformly elliptic operator L = −div(A∇) with bounded measurable coefficients in Rn is the Sobolev space H1(Rn) in any dimension with the estimate ‖ √ Lf‖2 ∼ ‖∇f‖2...
متن کاملOn the Principal Eigenfunction of Positive Elliptic Differential Operators and the Prescription of Q-curvature on Closed Riemannian Manifolds
In this note we establish the large time limit non-negativity of the heat kernel for a class of elliptic differential operators on closed, Riemannian manifolds, and apply this result to a problem from conformal differential geometry.
