Probabilistic approach to the existence of fundamental solutions associated to hypoelliptic operators.

We describe the probabilistic interpretation for the fundamental solutions of heat equations through their corresponding diffusions. A probabilistic approach to their study can be done through Malliavin Calculus: an idea of the methods is given.
