Two-sided estimates on Dirichlet heat kernels for time-dependent parabolic operators with singular drifts in \(C^{1,\alpha }\)-domains (Q652469)

The authors establish sharp two-sided estimates for the Dirichlet heat kernels of a large class of time-dependent parabolic operators with singular drifts in \(C^{1,\alpha }\)-domain in \(\mathbb R^d\), where \(d \geqslant 1\) and \(\alpha \in (0,1]\). Their operator is \(L+\mu \cdot \nabla_x\), where \(L\) is a time-dependent uniformly elliptic divergent operator with Dini continuous coefficients and \(\mu \) is a signed measure on \((0,\infty )\times \mathbb R^d\) belonging to parabolic Kato class. Moreover the authors prove also a gradient estimate. They use a method that is an intricate combination of partial differential equations and perturbation techniques.
