Abstract

After a short survey of some of the reasons that make the heat kernel an important object of study, we review a number of basic heat kernel estimates. We then describe recent results concerning (a) the heat kernel on certain manifolds with ends, and (b) the heat kernel with the Neumann or Dirichlet boundary condition in inner uniform Euclidean domains.
