Abstract

We study the space-time Brownian motion and the heat equation in non-cylindrical domains. The paper is mostly devoted to singularities of the heat equation near rough points of the boundary. Two types of singularities are identified - heat atoms and heat singularities. A number of explicit geometric conditions are given for the existence of singularities. Other properties of the heat equation solutions are analyzed as well.
