- In this paper, we introduce a new concept of glued manifolds and investigate under which conditions the canonical heat flow on these glued manifolds is ergodic and irreducible. Glued manifolds are metric spaces consisting of manifolds of varying dimension connected by a weakly doubling measure. This can be seen as a condition on the jump in dimension. From another perspective, this construction also defines the Brownian motion on these glued spaces. Using the heat flow, we construct a nonlocal perimeter functional, the heat excess, to raise the question of its $Γ$-convergence to the standard perimeter functional. In this context, we connect our work to the previous work on the convergence of perimeter functionals, approximations, and existence of heat kernels, as well as short-time expansions of Brownian motion.
