The local Nash inequality is introduced as a natural extension of the classical Nash inequality yielding a space‐homogeneous upper heat kernel estimate. The local Nash inequality contains local information of the heat kernel and is a necessary condition for the space‐inhomogeneous heat kernel estimate involving the volume of balls like the one obtained by Li and Yau for a complete Riemannian manifold with non‐negative Ricci curvature. Under the volume doubling property, the local Nash inequality combined with the exit time estimate is shown to be equivalent to a sub‐Gaussian off‐diagonal upper estimate of the heat kernel allowing space‐inhomogeneity. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification 60J35, 47D07 (primary), 28A80, 58J35 (secondary).
