Heat kernel estimates for operators with boundary conditions

We prove Gaussian upper bounds for kernels associated with non-symmetric, n on-autonomous second order parabolic operators of divergence form subject t o various boundary conditions. The growth of the kernel in time is determin ed by the boundary conditions and the geometric properties of the domain. T he theory gives a unified treatment for Dirichlet, Neumann and Robin bounda ry conditions, and the existence of a Gaussian type bound is essentially re duced to verifying some properties of the Hilbert space in the weak formula tion of the problem.
