Abstract: In this paper we study heat kernels associated to a Carnot group $G$, endowed with a family of collapsing left-invariant Riemannian metrics $sigm{a}_e$ which converge in the Gromov-Hausdorff sense to a sub-Riemannian structure on $G$ as $eo0$. The main new contribution are Gaussian-type bounds on the heat kernel for the $sigm{a}_e$ metrics which are stable as $eo0$ and extend the previous time-independent estimates in cite{CiMa-F}. As an application we study well posedness of the total variation flow of graph surfaces over a bounded domain in $(G,s_e)$. We establish interior and boundary gradient estimates, and develop a Schauder theory which are stable as $eo0$. As a consequence we obtain long time existence of smooth solutions of the sub-Riemannian flow ($e=0$), which in turn yield sub-Riemannian minimal surfaces as $toinfty$.
