Study precise asymptotic behavior of functions in singular metric spaces.

We consider a complete noncompact smooth Riemannian manifold $M$ with a weighted measure and the associated drifting Laplacian. We demonstrate that whenever the $q$-Bakry-Émery Ricci tensor on $M$ is bounded below, then we can obtain an upper bound estimate for the heat kernel of the drifting Laplacian from the upper b…

This paper concerns the $L^2$ essential spectrum of the Laplacian $Δ$ and the drift Laplacian $Δ_f$ on complete Riemannian manifolds endowed with a weighted measure $e^{-f}d\;vol_g$. We prove that the essential spectrum of the drift Laplacian $Δ_f$ is $[0,+\infty)$ provided the Bakry-Émery curvature tensor $Ric_f$ is …

In this paper, we extend the Reilly formula for drifting Laplacian operator and apply it to study eigenvalue estimate for drifting Laplacian operators on compact Riemannian manifolds boundary. Our results on eigenvalue estimates extend previous results of Reilly and Choi and Wang.

In this paper, we investigate eigenvalues of the Dirichlet problem and the closed eigenvalue problem of drifting Laplacian on the complete metric measure spaces and establish the corresponding general formulas. By using those general formulas, we give some upper bounds of consecutive gap of the eigenvalues of the eigen…

We study the heat trace for both the drifting Laplacian as well as Schrödinger operators on compact Riemannian manifolds. In the case of a finite regularity potential or weight function, we prove the existence of a partial (six term) asymptotic expansion of the heat trace for small times as well as a suitable remainder…

In the present paper we study some kinds of the problems for the bi-drifting Laplacian operator and get some sharp lower bounds for the first eigenvalue for these eigenvalue problems on compact manifolds with boundary (also called a smooth metric measure space) and weighted Ricci curvature bounded inferiorly.

By introducing a weight function to the Laplace operator, Bakry and Émery defined the "drift Laplacian" to study diffusion processes. Our first main result is that, given a Bakry-Émery manifold, there is a naturally associated family of graphs whose eigenvalues converge to the eigenvalues of the drift Laplacian as the …

Lower bounds for eigenvalues on manifolds with boundary conditions.

Let $(M^n, h)$ be a compact Hermitian manifold. Suppose $λ$ is the lowest eigenvalue of the complex Laplacian on $M$. We prove that $λ\geq C$ where $C$ depends only on the dimension $n$, the diameter $d$, the Ricci curvature of the Levi-Civita connection on $M$, and a norm, expressed in curvature, that determines how m…

Sharp eigenvalue bounds and splitting for modified Ricci flow.

In this paper, we study self-expanders for mean curvature flows. First we show the discreteness of the spectrum of the drifted Laplacian on them. Next we give a universal lower bound of the bottom of the spectrum of the drifted Laplacian and prove that this lower bound is achieved if and only if the self-expander is th…

In this paper, we study Lichnerowicz type estimate for eigenvalues of drifting Laplacian operator and L1 and L2 energy for drifting heat equation on closed manifolds with weighted measure. In some sense, this study is about the eigenvalue estimate on Ricci solitons.

We use a weighted variant of the frequency functions introduced by Almgren to prove sharp asymptotic estimates for almost eigenfunctions of the drift Laplacian associated to the Gaussian weight on an asymptotically conical end. As a consequence, we obtain a purely elliptic proof of a result of L. Wang on the uniqueness…

I In this paper, first we study a complete smooth metric measure space $(M^n,g, e^{-f}dv)$ with the ($\infty$)-Bakry-Émery Ricci curvature $\textrm{Ric}_f\ge \frac a2g$ for some positive constant $a$. It is known that the spectrum of the drifted Laplacian $Δ_f$ for $M$ is discrete and the first nonzero eigenvalue of $Δ…

Study geometric and analytical properties of $ρ$-Einstein solitons.

The purpose of this paper is to prove the uniqueness theorem of solutions of eigenvalue equations on one end of Riemannian manifolds for drift Laplacians, including the standard Laplacian as a special case; we shall impose "a sort of radiation condition" at infinity on solutions. We shall also provide several Riemannia…

We consider an analytic family of Riemannian metrics on a compact smooth manifold $M$. We assume the Dirichlet boundary condition for the $η$-Laplacian and obtain Hadamard type variation formulas for analytic curves of eigenfunctions and eigenvalues. As an application, we show that for a subset of all $C^r$ Riemannian …

In this paper we prove some spectral properties of the drifted Laplacian of self-shrinkers properly immersed in gradient shrinking Ricci solitons. Then we use these results to prove some geometric properties of self-shrinkers. For example, we describe a collection of domains in the ambient space that cannot contain sel…

Treebolic space HT(q,p) is a key example of a strip complex in the sense of Bendikov, Saloff-Coste, Salvatori, and Woess [Adv. Math. 226 (2011), 992-1055]. It is an analog of the Sol geometry, namely, it is a horocylic product of the hyperbolic upper half plane with a "stretching" parameter q and the homogeneous tree T…

In this paper we prove general inequalities involving the weighted mean curvature of compact submanifolds immersed in weighted manifolds. As a consequence we obtain a relative linear isoperimetric inequality for such submanifolds. We also prove an extrinsic upper bound to the first non zero eigenvalue of the drift Lapl…

We study space-like self-shrinkers of dimension $n$ in pseudo-Euclidean space $\ir{m+n}_m$with index $m$. We derive drift Laplacian of the basic geometric quantities and obtain their volume estimates in pseudo-distance function. Finally, we prove a rigidity results under minor growth conditions interms of the mean curv…

Estimates the first eigenvalue of a Laplacian on self-shrinkers in Ricci shrinkers.

In this paper, by slightly modifying Li-Yau's technique so that we can handle drifting Laplacians, we were able to find three different gradient estimates for the warping function, one for each sign of the Einstein constant of the fiber manifold. As an application, we exhibit a nonexistence theorem for gradient almost …

Let $(M^{n+1}, g)$ be a compact Riemannian manifold with smooth boundary B and nonnegative Bakry-Emery Ricci curvature. In this paper, we use the solvability of some elliptic equations to prove some estimates of the weighted mean curvature and some related rigidity theorems. As their applications, we obtain some lower …

The Lie group Sol(p,q) is the semidirect product induced by the action of the real numbers R on the plane R^2 which is given by (x,y) --> (exp{p z} x, exp{-q z} y), where z is in R. Viewing Sol(p,q) as a 3-dimensional manifold, it carries a natural Riemannian metric and Laplace-Beltrami operator. We add a linear drift …

We describe min-max formulas for the principal eigenvalue of a $V$-drift Laplacian defined by a vector field $V$ on a geodesic ball of a Riemannian manifold $N$. Then we derive comparison results for the principal eigenvalue with the one of a spherically symmetric model space endowed with a radial vector field, under p…

Introduces a new Hodge theory using vector fields on manifolds.

To study the regularity of heat flow, Lin-Wang[1] introduced the quasi-harmonic sphere, which is a harmonic map from $M=(\mathbb{R}^m,e^{-\frac{|x|^2}{2(m-2)}}ds_0^2)$ to $N$ with finite energy. Here $ds_0^2$ is Euclidean metric in $\mathbb{R}^m$. Ding-Zhao [2] showed that if the target is a sphere, any equivariant qua…
