Abstract: We consider Kolmogorov operator ablacdotacdotabla+bcdotabla with measurable uniformly elliptic matrix a and prove Gaussian lower and upper bounds on its heat kernel under minimal assumptions on the vector field b and its divergence mdiv,b. More precisely, we prove: (1) Gaussian lower bound, provided that mdiv,bgeq0, and b is in the class of form-bounded vector fields (containing e.g.,the class Ld, the weak Ld class, as well as some vector fields that are not even in Lmloc2+varepsilon, varepsilon>0); in these assumptions, the Gaussian upper bound is in general invalid; (2) Gaussian upper bound, provided that b is form-bounded, and the positive part of mdiv,b is in the Kato class; in these assumptions, the Gaussian lower bound is in general invalid; (3) Gaussian upper and lower bounds, provided that b is form-bounded, mdiv,b is in the Kato class; (4) A priori Gaussian upper and lower bounds, provided that b is in a large class containing the class of form-bounded vector fields, mdiv,b is in the Kato class.
