Heat kernel asymptotics for the measurable Riemannian structure on the Sierpinski gasket (Q658569)

The author considers measurable Riemann structures on the Sierpinski gasket \(K\) and gives asymptotic estimates for various counting functions associated with the associated heat kernel. These include Varadhan's asymptotic relation as well as some sharp estimates for the asymptotic behaviour at vertices. Also, it is shown that the asymptotic growth rate of the eigenvalues of the associated Laplacian is given by the Hausdorff dimension of \(K\) when equipped with a metric inherited from a harmonic embedding of \(K\) into \({\mathbb R}^{2}\).
