Abstract: We consider a complete non-compact Riemannian manifold satisfying the volume doubling property and a Gaussian upper bound for its heat kernel (on functions). Let -- ightarrow Delta k be the Hodge-de Rham Laplacian on differential k-forms with k ge 1. By the Bochner decomposition formula -- ightarrow Delta k = * + R k. Under the assumption that the negative part R -- k is in an enlarged Kato class, we prove that for all p in [1, infty], e --t -- ightarrow Delta k p--p le C(t log t) D 4 (1-- 2 p) (for large t). This estimate can be improved if R -- k is strongly sub-critical. In general, (e --t -- ightarrow Delta k) t>0 is not uniformly bounded on L p for any p = 2. We also prove the gradient estimate e --tDelta p--p le Ct -- 1 p , where Delta is the Laplace-Beltrami operator (acting on functions). Finally we discuss heat kernel bounds on forms and the Riesz transform on L p for p > 2.
