Measurable Riemannian geometry on the Sierpinski gasket: the Kusuoka measure and the Gaussian heat kernel estimate (Q2476177): Difference between revisions

The author studied the standard Dirichlet form and its energy measure which is called the Kusuoka measure on the Sierpinski gasket as a prototype of ``measurable Riemannian geometry''. The shortest path metric on the harmonic Sierpinski gasket is shown to be the geodesic distance associated with the ``measurable Riemannian structure''. The Kusuoka measure is shown to have the volume doubling property with respect to the Euclidean distance and also to the geodesic distance. Li-Yau type Gaussian off-diagonal heat kernel estimate is established for the heat kernel associated with the Kusuoka measure.
