Abstract: In this paper, we study an elliptic operator in divergence-form but not necessary symmetric. In particular, our results can be applied to elliptic operator $L=uDelta+u(x,t)cdotabla$, where $u(cdot,t)$ is a time-dependent vector field in $mathbb{R}^n$, which is divergence-free in distribution sense, i.e. $ablacdotu=0$. Suppose $uin{L}_t^{infty}(extrm{BMO}_x^{-1})$. We show the existence of the fundamental solution $varGamma(x,t;xi,au)$ of the parabolic operator $L-partia{l}_t$, and show that $varGamma$ satisfies the Aronson estimate with a constant depending only on the dimension $n$, the elliptic constant $u$ and the norm $leftVertuightVer{t}_{L^{infty}(extrm{BMO}^{-1})}$. Therefore the existence and uniqueness of the parabolic equation $left(L-partia{l}_{t}ight)v=0$ are established for initial data in $L^2$-space, and their regularity is obtained too. In fact, we establish these results for a general non-symmetric elliptic operator in divergence form.
