Heat kernel estimates and related inequalities on metric graphs

Abstract

We consider metric graphs with Kirchhoff boundary conditions. We study the intrinsic metric, volume doubling and a Poincaré inequality. This enables us to prove a parabolic Harnack inequality. The proof involves various techniques from the theory of strongly local Dirichlet forms. Along our way we show Sobolev and Nash type inequalities and related heat kernel estimates.
