Ben Arous, G.; Léandre, R. Décroissance exponentielle du noyau de la chaleur sur la diagonale. I. (Exponential decay of the heat kernel over the diagonal. I). (French) Zbl 0734.60026 Probab. Theory Relat. Fields 90, No. 2, 175-202 (1991). We give examples based upon large deviations theory where the heat kernel of a degenerate diffusion has an exponential decay over the diagonal. Using Malliavin calculus, we give conditions for a more generalized heat kernel to have an exponential decay over the diagonal. We give lower bound in some particular case by using the Bismut’s condition.
