Heat kernel fluctuations for stochastic processes on fractals and random media. (English) Zbl 1532.60224

Summary: It is well known that stochastic processes on fractal spaces or in certain random media exhibit anomalous heat kernel behaviour. One manifestation of such irregular behaviour is the presence of fluctuations in the short- or long-time asymptotics of the on-diagonal heat kernel. In this note, we review some examples for which such fluctuations are known to occur, including Brownian motion on certain deterministic or random fractals, and simple random walks on various examples of random graph trees, such as the incipient infinite cluster of critical percolation on a regular tree and low-dimensional uniform spanning trees. We also announce some new results that add the one-dimensional Bouchaud trap model to this class of examples.
