Enhanced Bishop-Gromov theorem for homogeneous and inhomogeneous spaces.

Enhances the Bishop-Gromov theorem for curved spaces, especially at late times.

Lorentzian versions of classical Riemannian volume comparison theorems by Gunther, Bishop and Bishop-Gromov, are stated for suitable natural subsets of general semi-Riemannian manifolds. The problem is more subtle in the Bishop-Gromov case, which is extensively discussed. For the general semi-Riemannian case, a local v…

Sharp spectral theorems and isoperimetric inequalities for manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature.

Under an infinitesimal version of the Bishop-Gromov relative volume comparison condition for a measure on an Alexandrov space, we prove a topological splitting theorem of Cheeger-Gromoll type. As a corollary, we prove an isometric splitting theorem for Riemannian manifolds with singularities of nonnegative (Bakry-Emery…

We consider an infinitesimal version of the Bishop-Gromov relative volume comparison condition as generalized notion of Ricci curvature bounded below for Alexandrov spaces. We prove a Laplacian comparison theorem for Alexandrov spaces under the condition. As an application we prove a topological splitting theorem.

On Kahler manifolds with Ricci curvature bounded from below, we establish some theorems which are counterparts of some classical theorems in Riemannian geometry, for example, Bishop-Gromov's relative volume comparison, Bonnet-Meyers theorem, and Yau's gradient estimate for positive harmonic functions. The tool is a Boc…

We study Riemannian manifolds with boundary under a lower Ricci curvature bound, and a lower mean curvature bound for the boundary. We prove a volume comparison theorem of Bishop-Gromov type concerning the volumes of the metric neighborhoods of the boundaries. We conclude several rigidity theorems. As one of them, we o…

For a complete Riemannian manifold $M$ with an (1,1)-elliptic Codazzi self-adjoint tensor field $A$ on it, we use the divergence type operator ${L_A}(u): = div(A\nabla u)$ and an extension of the Ricci tensor to extend some major comparison theorems in Riemannian geometry. In fact we extend theorems like mean curvature…

The study examines how average scalar curvature influences geometric properties of Riemannian manifolds.

Motivated by recent work of Choquet-Bruhat, Chrusciel, and Martin-Garcia, we prove monotonicity properties and comparison results for the area of slices of the null cone of a point in a Lorentzian manifold. We also prove volume comparison results for subsets of the null cone analogous to the Bishop-Gromov relative volu…

Quantum complexity lowerbound proved using differential geometry.

In this note we prove convexity, in the sense of Colding-Naber, of the regular set of solutions to some complex Monge-Ampere equations with conical singularities along simple normal crossing divisors. In particular, any two points in the regular set can be joined by a smooth minimal geodesic lying entirely in the regul…

The paper proves Laplacian comparison theorems for modified m-Bakry-Emery Ricci tensors on Riemannian manifolds.

Motivated by a classical comparison result of J. C. F. Sturm we introduce a curvature-dimension condition CD(k,N) for general metric measure spaces and variable lower curvature bound k. In the case of non-zero constant lower curvature our approach coincides with the celebrated condition that was proposed by K.-T. Sturm…

A local cut point is by definition a point that disconnectes its sufficiently small neighborhood. We show that there exists an upper bound for the degree of a local cut point in a metric measure space satisfying the generalized Bishop--Gromov inequality. As a corollary, we obtain an upper bound for the number of ends o…

Let $L=Δ-\nablaφ\cdot \nabla$ be a symmetric diffusion operator with an invariant measure $μ({\rm} d x)=e^{-φ(x)}{\mathfrak m}({\rm d} x)$ on a complete non-compact smooth Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ with its volume element ${\mathfrak m}={\rm vol}_g$, and $φ\in C^2(M)$ a potential function. In this paper, we prove a L…

We characterize lower bounds for the Bakry-Emery Ricci tensor of nonsymmetric diffusion operators by convexity of entropy on the $L^2$-Wasserstein space, and define a curvature-dimension condition for general metric measure spaces together with a square integrable $1$-form in the sense of \cite{giglinonsmooth}. This ex…

In this paper, we derive a relative volume comparison estimate along Ricci flow and apply it to studying the Gromov-Hausdorff convergence of Kähler-Ricci flow on a minimal manifold. This new estimate generalizes Perelman's no local collapsing estimate and can be regarded as an analogue of the Bishop-Gromov volume compa…

We prove three new monotonicity formulas for manifolds with a lower Ricci curvature bound and show that they are connected to rate of convergence to tangent cones. In fact, we show that the derivative of each of these three monotone quantities is bounded from below in terms of the Gromov-Hausdorff distance to the neare…

Recently, in [49], a new definition for lower Ricci curvature bounds on Alexandrov spaces was introduced by the authors. In this article, we extend our research to summarize the geometric and analytic results under this Ricci condition. In particular, two new results, the rigidity result of Bishop-Gromov volume compari…

In this paper, we study curvature dimension conditions on birth-death processes which correspond to linear graphs, i.e., weighted graphs supported on the infinite line or the half line. We give a combinatorial characterization of Bakry and Émery's $CD(K,n)$ condition for linear graphs and prove the triviality of edge w…

We give several Bishop-Gromov relative volume comparisons with integral Ricci curvature which improve the results in \cite{PW1}. Using one of these volume comparisons, we derive an estimate for the volume entropy in terms of integral Ricci curvature which substantially improves an earlier estimate in \cite{Au2} and giv…

Given a compact Alexadrov $n$-space $Z$ with curvature curv $\ge κ$, and let $f: Z\to X$ be a distance non-increasing onto map to another Alexandrov $n$-space with curv $\ge κ$. The relative volume rigidity conjecture says that if $X$ achieves the relative maximal volume i.e. $vol(Z)=vol(X)$, then $X$ is isometric to $…

We prove that a compact stratied space satises the Riemannian curvature-dimension condition RCD(K, N) if and only if its Ricci tensor is bounded below by K $\in$ R on the regular set, the cone angle along the stratum of codimension two is smaller than or equal to 2$π$ and its dimension is at most equal to N. This gives…
