Heat kernel estimates on connected sums of parabolic manifolds
Abstract
We obtain matching two sided estimates of the heat kernel on a connected sum of parabolic manifolds, each of them satisfying the Li-Yau estimate. The key result is the on-diagonal upper bound of the heat kernel at a central point. Contrary to the nonparabolic case (which was settled in [15]), the on-diagonal behavior of the heat kernel in our case is determined by the end with the maximal volume growth function. As examples, we give explicit heat kernel bounds on the connected sums $R^2#R^2$ and $R^1#R^2$ where $R^1 = R_+\timesS^1$.
