Abstract:

We construct a Sierpinski carpet like fractal, on which a diffusion with sub-Gaussian heat kernel estimate does not exist, in contrast to previous researches on the existence of such diffusions, on the generalized Sierpinski carpets and recently introduced unconstrained Sierpinski carpets.
