Abstract: We connect the (completely bounded) local Coulhon-Varopoulos dimension to the spectral dimension of spectral triples associated to sub-Markovian semigroups (or Dirichlet forms) acting on classical (or noncommutative) $mathrm{L}^p$-spaces associated to finite measure spaces. As a consequence, we are able to prove that a two-sided Gaussian estimate on a heat kernel explicitely determines the spectral dimension. We investigate different settings where we compare these two values: compact Riemmannian manifolds, compact Lie groups, sublaplacians, metric measure spaces, elliptic operators and quantum groups. We prove in particular that these dimensions can be different while often equal in smooth compact settings. Finally, we show that the existence of a Markov semigroup on a von Neumann algebra with finite completely bounded local Coulhon-Varopoulos dimension implies that the von Neumann algebra is injective.
