Abstract: We study reflected diffusion on uniform domains where the underlying space admits a symmetric diffusion that satisfies sub-Gaussian heat kernel estimates. A celebrated theorem of Jones (Acta Math. 1981) states that uniform domains in Euclidean space are extension domains for Sobolev spaces. In this work, we obtain a similar extension property for metric spaces equipped with a Dirichlet form whose heat kernel satisfies a sub-Gaussian estimate. We introduce a scale-invariant version of this extension property and apply it to show that the reflected diffusion process on such a uniform domain inherits various properties from the ambient space, such as Harnack inequalities, cutoff energy inequality, and sub-Gaussian heat kernel bounds. In particular, our work extends Neumann heat kernel estimates of Gyrya and Saloff-Coste (Ast'erisque 2011) beyond the Gaussian space-time scaling. Furthermore, our estimates on the extension operator imply that the energy measure of the boundary of a uniform domain is always zero. This property of the energy measure is a broad generalization of Hino's result (PTRF 2013) that proves the vanishing of the energy measure on the outer square boundary of the standard Sierpi'nski carpet equipped with the self-similar Dirichlet form.
