A submarkovian C0 semigroup (Tt)t∈ℝ+ acting on the scale of complex-valued functions Lp(X,ℂ) extends to a semigroup of operators on the scale of vector-valued function spaces Lp(X,E), when E is a Banach space. It is known that, if f∈Lp(X,ℂ), where 1<p<∞, then Ttf→f pointwise almost everywhere. We show that the same holds when f∈Lp(X,E) .
