Hess-Schrader-Uhlenbrock inequality for the heat semigroup on differential forms over Dirichlet spaces tamed by distributional curvature lower bounds

Abstract

The notion of tamed Dirichlet space was proposed by Erbar, Rigoni, Sturm and Tamanini as a Dirichlet space having a weak form of Bakry-Émery curvature lower bounds in distribution sense. After their work, Braun established a vector calculus for it, in particular, the space of $L^2$-normed $L^{\infty }$-module describing vector fields, $1$-forms, Hessian in $L^2$-sense. In this framework, we establish the Hess-Schrader-Uhlenbrock inequality for $1$-forms as an element of $L^2$-cotangent module (an $L^2$-normed $L^{\infty }$-module), which extends the Hess-Schrader-Uhlenbrock inequality by Braun under an additional condition.
