Abstract: We study the canonical heat flow $(mathsf{H}_t{)}_{tgeq0}$ on the cotangent module $L^2(T^{*}M)$ over an $mathrmRCD(K,infty)$ space $(M,mathsfd,mathfrakm)$, $$. We show Hess-Schrader-Uhlenbrock's inequality and, if $(M,mathsfd,mathfrakm)$ is also an $mathrm{RCD}^{*}(K,N)$ space, $Nin(1,infty)$, Bakry-Ledoux's inequality for $(mathsf{H}_t{)}_{tgeq0}$ w.r.t. the heat flow $(mathsf{P}_t{)}_{tgeq0}$ on $L^2(M)$. Variable versions of these estimates are discussed as well. In conjunction with a study of logarithmic Sobolev inequalities for $1$-forms, the previous inequalities yield various $L^p$-properties of $(mathsf{H}_t{)}_{tgeq0}$, $pin[1,infty]$. Then we establish explicit inclusions between the spectrum of its generator, the Hodge Laplacian $smashvecDelta$, of the negative functional Laplacian $-Delta$, and of the Schr"odinger operator $-Delta+K$. In the $mathrm{RCD}^{*}(K,N)$ case, we prove compactness of $smashvec{Delta}^{-1}$ if $M$ is compact, and the independence of the $L^p$-spectrum of $smashvecDelta$ on $pin[1,infty]$ under a volume growth condition. We terminate by giving an appropriate interpretation of a heat kernel for $(mathsf{H}_t{)}_{tgeq0}$. We show its existence in full generality without any local compactness or doubling, and derive fundamental estimates and properties of it.
