Abstract

We study the heat kernel of second order elliptic operators in divergence form with complex non-smooth bounded coefficients on ${\Bbb{R}}^n$. We obtain Gaussian bounds without further assumption if $n \le 2$, and when the principal part has Hölder continuous coefficients if $n \ge 3$. Some applications are discussed.
