Abstract: Let $$ be open. We investigate conditions under which an operator $T$ on $L_2(Omega)$ has a continuous kernel $KinC(overlineOmegaimesoverlineOmega)$. In the centre of our interest is the condition $T{L}_2(Omega)subsetC(overlineOmega)$, which one knows for many semigroups generated by elliptic operators. This condition implies that $T^3$ has a kernel in $C(overlineOmegaimesoverlineOmega)$ if $T$ is self-adjoint and $Omega$ is bounded, and the power $3$ is best possible. We also analyse Mercer's theorem in our context.
