Linear nonlocal diffusion problems in metric measure spaces
  The aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive study of some linear nonlocal diffusion problems in metric measure spaces. These include, for example, open subsets in $\mathbb{R}^N$, graphs, manifolds, multi-structures or some fractal sets. For this, we study regularity, compactness, positiveness and the spectrum of the stationary nonlocal operator. Then we study the solutions of linear evolution nonlocal diffusion problems, with emphasis in similarities and differences with the standard heat equation in smooth domains. In particular prove weak and strong maximum principles and describe the asymptotic behaviour using spectral methods.
