Streszczenie
We prove pointwise lower bounds for the heat kernel of Schrödinger semigroups on Euclidean domains under Dirichlet boundary conditions. The bounds take into account non-Gaussian corrections for the kernel due to the geometry of the domain. The results are applied to prove a general lower bound for the Schrödinger heat kernel in horn-shaped domains without assuming intrinsic ultracontractivity for the free heat semigroup.
