We consider m-th order subelliptic differential operators H on G, the semigroups St = e-tH and the corresponding heat kernels Kt. For a large class of H with m ≥ 4 we demonstrate equivalence between tKeywords: Heat kernel; Higher-order differential operators; Lie groupHigher order operators and Gaussian bounds on Lie groups of polynomial growth20012015-12-12
