Heat kernel upper bounds for symmetric Markov semigroups (Q831118)

Analysis on heat kernel plays an important role in analysis, geometry and probability. It is well known that Nash-type inequalities for symmetric Dirichlet forms are equivalent to on-diagonal heat kernel upper bounds for the associated symmetric Markov semigroups. The main contribution of the paper is to prove that both are equivalent to off-diagonal heat kernel upper bounds under some mild assumptions, which extends some previous results. Refer to Theorem 1.2 and Theorem 4.3 for the main results. Applications and examples are given in Section 5.
