Abstract
Li and Yau type two-sided heat kernel bounds are obtained for symmetric dif fusions under a curvature-dimension condition, where the heat kernel upper bound is established for a more general case. As an application, the compac tness of manifolds is studied using heat kernels. In particular, a conjectu re by Bueler is proved.
