Abstract: We study the large-time behavior in all Lp norms and in different space-time scales of solutions to a heat equation with a Caputo alpha-time derivative posed in mathbbRN. The initial data are assumed to be integrable, and, when required, to be also in Lp. A main difficulty in the analysis comes from the singularity in space at the origin of the fundamental solution of the equation when~N>1. The rate of decay in Lp norm in the characteristic scale, |x|asymptalpha/2, dictated by the scaling invariance of the equation, is tfracalphaN2(1frac1p). In compact sets it is talpha/2 for N=1, talpha for Nge3, and talphalogt in the critical dimension N=2. In intermediate scales, going to infinity but more slowly than talpha/2, we have an intermediate decay rate. In fast scales, going to infinity faster than talpha/2, there is no universal rate, valid for all solutions, as we will show by means of some examples. Anyway, in such scales solutions decay faster than in the characteristic one. When divided by the decay rate, solutions behave for large times in the characteristic scale like M times the fundamental solution, where M is the integral of the initial datum. The situation is very different in compact sets, where they converge to the Newtonian potential of the initial datum if Nge3, one of the main novelties of the paper, and to a constant if N=1,2. In intermediate scales they approach a multiple of the fundamental solution of the Laplacian if Nge3, and a constant in low dimensions. The asymptotic behavior in scales that go to infinity faster than the characteristic one depends strongly on the behavior of the initial datum at infinity. We give results for certain initial data with specific decays.
