Summary on Grant Application Form
The classical random walk on the n-dimensional lattice admits Gaussian two-sided estimated for the heat kernel (=the transition probabilities). The recent development of analsyis on fractals has led to discovery of such graphs of fractals structure where the heat kernel behaves in a different way sub-Gaussian, featuring a slower propagation. An intriguing question is to understand the geometric reasons for such a phenomenon.Some results in this direction have been already obtained jointly by A.Grigor'yan and A.Telcs. They have shown the importance of such properties of the underlying space as volume doubling, certain estimates of mean exit time from a ball, elliptic Harnack inequality. The project is meant to be an extensive investigation of all aspects of sub-Gaussian heat kernel behaviour.
