Let (H,B) be an abstract Wiener space and let mu_{s} be the Gaussian measure on B with variance s. Let Delta be the Laplacian (*not* the number operator), that is, a sum of squares of derivatives associated to an orthonormal basis of H. I will show that the heat operator exp(tDelta/2) is a contraction operator from L^2(B,mu_{s} to L^2(B,mu_{s-t}), for all t<s. More generally, the heat operator is a contraction from L^p(B,mu_{s}) to L^q(B,mu_{s-t}) for t<s, provided that p and q satisfy (p-1)/(q-1) leq s/(s-t). I give two proofs of this result, both very elementary.
