Heat kernel bounds on manifolds (Q1183059)

The author derives a uniform lower bound for the heat kernel on a complete Riemannian manifold in terms of the volume balls on the manifold under the assumption that the Ricci curvature is bounded from below in the form \(\text{Ric}_ x(X,X)\geq -(d-1)\cdot k\cdot | X|^ 2\) with \(k\geq 0\) and \(d\) being the dimension of the manifold. Also some explicit upper and lower bounds for the heat kernel on the hyperbolic space are obtained.
