چکیده
In this paper, we establish a one-parameter family of Harnack inequalities connecting the constrained trace Li-Yau differential Harnack inequality to the constrained trace Chow-Hamilton Harnack inequality for a nonlinear parabolic equation with respect to evolving metrics related to the Yamabe flow on the n-dimensional complete manifold. M.S.C. 2010: 53C44, 53C25.

New Li–Yau–Hamilton Inequalities for the Ricci Flow via the Space-time Approach
i ii Chapter 1 Introduction In [11], Hamilton determined a sharp differential Harnack inequality of Li–Yau type for complete solutions of the Ricci flow with non-negative curvature operator. This Li–Yau–Hamilton inequality (abbreviated as LYH inequality below) is of critical importance to the understanding of singularities of the Ricci flow, as is evident from its numerous applications in [10],...
متن کاملSharp Differential Estimates of Li-Yau-Hamilton Type for Positive .p; p/-Forms on Kähler Manifolds
In this paper we study the heat equation (of Hodge Laplacian) deformation of .p; p/-forms on a Kähler manifold. After identifying the condition and establishing that the positivity of a .p; p/-form solution is preserved under such an invariant condition, we prove the sharp differential Harnack (in the sense of LiYau-Hamilton) estimates for the positive solutions of the Hodge Laplacian heat equa...
متن کاملDifferential Harnack Inequalities on Riemannian Manifolds I : Linear Heat Equation
Abstract. In the first part of this paper, we get new Li-Yau type gradient estimates for positive solutions of heat equation on Riemmannian manifolds with Ricci(M) ≥ −k, k ∈ R. As applications, several parabolic Harnack inequalities are obtained and they lead to new estimates on heat kernels of manifolds with Ricci curvature bounded from below. In the second part, we establish a Perelman type L...
متن کاملOn an alternate proof of Hamilton’s matrix Harnack inequality for the Ricci flow
In [LY] a differential Harnack inequality was proved for solutions to the heat equation on a Riemannian manifold. Inspired by this result, Hamilton first proved trace and matrix Harnack inequalities for the Ricci flow on compact surfaces [H0] and then vastly generalized his own result to all higher dimensions for complete solutions of the Ricci flow with nonnegative curvature operator [ H2]. So...
متن کاملA New Matrix Li-yau-hamilton Estimate for Kähler-ricci Flow
In this paper we prove a new matrix Li-Yau-Hamilton estimate for Kähler-Ricci flow. The form of this new Li-Yau-Hamilton estimate is obtained by the interpolation consideration originated in [Ch1]. This new inequality is shown to be connected with Perelman’s entropy formula through a family of differential equalities. In the rest of the paper, We show several applications of this new estimate a...
