Abstract: The Liouville Brownian motion (LBM), recently introduced by Garban, Rhodes and Vargas and in a weaker form also by Berestycki, is a diffusion process evolving in a planar random geometry induced by the Liouville measure $M_{g}amma$, formally written as $M_{g}amma(dz)=e^{gammaX(z)-gamm{a}^{2}mathbbE[X(z{)}^2]/2},dz$, $gammain(0,2)$, for a (massive) Gaussian free field $X$. It is an $M_{g}amma$-symmetric diffusion defined as the time change of the two-dimensional Brownian motion by the positive continuous additive functional with Revuz measure $M_{g}amma$. In this paper we provide a detailed analysis of the heat kernel $p_t(x,y)$ of the LBM. Specifically, we prove its joint continuity, a locally uniform sub-Gaussian upper bound of the form $$ for $tin(0,frac12]$ for each $$, and an on-diagonal lower bound of the form $$ for $tin(0,t_{eta}(x)]$, with $t_{eta}(x)in(0,frac12]$ heavily dependent on $x$, for each $eta>18$ for $M_{gamma}$-almost every $x$. As applications, we deduce that the pointwise spectral dimension equals $2$ $M_{g}amma$-a.e. and that the global spectral dimension is also $2$.
