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…

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 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.

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…

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 …

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…

The paper establishes eigenvalue inequalities for a specific operator on curved spaces.

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…

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…
