On 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 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 کاملHarnack quadratics for the Ricci flow via the space - time approach
In [H4], Hamilton determined a sharp tensor Harnack inequality for complete solutions of the Ricci flow with non-negative curvature operator. This Harnack inequality is of critical importance to the understanding of singularities of the Ricci flow, as is evident from its numerous applications in [H3], [H5], [H6], and [H7]. Moreover, according to Hamilton, the discovery of a Harnack inequality i...
متن کاملRICCI CURVATURE OF SUBMANIFOLDS OF A SASAKIAN SPACE FORM
Involving the Ricci curvature and the squared mean curvature, we obtain basic inequalities for different kind of submaniforlds of a Sasakian space form tangent to the structure vector field of the ambient manifold. Contrary to already known results, we find a different necessary and sufficient condition for the equality for Ricci curvature of C-totally real submanifolds of a Sasakian space form...
