Gradient estimates for the heat equation under the Ricci flow

M Bailesteanu, X Cao, A Pulemotov - Journal of Functional Analysis, 2010 - Elsevier
The paper considers a manifold M evolving under the Ricci flow and establishes a series of
gradient estimates for positive solutions of the heat equation on M. Among other results, we …

Metric measure spaces and synthetic Ricci bounds: fundamental concepts and recent developments

KT Sturm - European Congress of Mathematics, 2023 - ems.press
Metric measure spaces with synthetic Ricci bounds have attracted great interest in recent
years, accompanied by spectacular breakthroughs and deep new insights. In this survey, I …

The conjugate heat equation and ancient solutions of the Ricci flow

X Cao, QS Zhang - Advances in Mathematics, 2011 - Elsevier
We prove Gaussian type bounds for the fundamental solution of the conjugate heat equation
evolving under the Ricci flow. As a consequence, for dimension 4 and higher, we show that …

Characterizations of the Ricci flow

R Haslhofer, A Naber - Journal of the European Mathematical Society, 2018 - ems.press
This is the first of a series of papers, where we introduce a new class of estimates for the
Ricci flow, and use them both to characterize solutions of the Ricci flow and to provide a …

Heat flow on time‐dependent metric measure spaces and super‐Ricci flows

E Kopfer, KT Sturm - Communications on Pure and Applied …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
We study the heat equation on time‐dependent metric measure spaces (as well as the dual
and the adjoint heat equation) and prove existence, uniqueness, and regularity. Of particular …

On Harnack inequalities for Witten Laplacian on Riemannian manifolds with super Ricci flows

S Li, XD Li - arXiv preprint arXiv:1706.05304, 2017 - arxiv.org
In this paper, we prove the Li-Yau type Harnack inequality and Hamilton type dimension free
Harnack inequality for the heat equation $\partial_t u= Lu $ associated with the time …

Horizontal Diffusion in C 1 Path Space

M Arnaudon, KA Coulibaly, A Thalmaier - Séminaire de Probabilités XLIII, 2011 - Springer
We define horizontal diffusion in C 1 path space over a Riemannian manifold and prove its
existence. If the metric on the manifold is developing under the forward Ricci flow, horizontal …

Non-explosion of diffusion processes on manifolds with time-dependent metric

K Kuwada, R Philipowski - Mathematische Zeitschrift, 2011 - Springer
We study the problem of non-explosion of diffusion processes on a manifold with time-
dependent Riemannian metric. In particular we obtain that Brownian motion cannot explode …
