On-diagonal oscillation of the heat kernels on post-critically finite self-similar fractals (Q1955834)

For the canonical heat kernels \(p_t(x,y)\) associated with Dirichlet forms on post-critically finite self-similar fractals, e.g. the transition densities (heat kernels) of Brownian motion on affine nested fractals, the non-existence of the limit \(\lim_{t\rightarrow 0}t^{d_s/2}p_t(x,x)\) is established for a ``generic'' (in particular, almost every) point \(x\), where \(d_s\) denotes the spectral dimension. Furthermore, the author proves the same result for any point \(x\) in the case of a \(d\)-dimensional standard Sierpinski gasket with \(d\geq 2\) and the \(N\)-polygasket with \(N\geq 3\) odd, i.e., the pentagasket (\(N=5\)) and the heptagasket (\(N=7\)).
