We study the heat kernel of a regular symmetric Dirichlet form on a metric space with doubling measure, in particular, a connection between the properties of the jump measure and the long time behaviour of the heat kernel. Under appropriate optimal hypotheses, we obtain the Hölder regularity and lower estimates of the heat kernel.

We will show that for any noncompact arithmetic hyperbolic m-manifold with m>3, and any compact arithmetic hyperbolic m-manifold with m > 4 that is not a 7-dimensional one defined by octonions, its fundamental group is not locally extended residually finite (LERF). The main ingredient in the proof is a study on abelian amalgamations of hyperbolic 3-manifold groups. We will also show that a compact orientable irreducible 3-manifold with empty or tori boundary supports a geometric structure if and only if its fundamental group is LERF.

This goal of the paper is to show that the automorphisms of the complex of curves in a surface are induced by the self-homeomorphisms of the surface except the surface is the 2-holed torus.
