We consider gradient estimates to positive solutions of porous medium equations and fast diffusion equations: $u_t=Δ_φ(u^p)$ associated with the Witten Laplacian on Riemannian manifolds. Under the assumption that the $m$-dimensional Bakry-Emery Ricci curvature is bounded from below, we obtain gradient estimates which…

We show that many algebraic actions of higher-rank abelian groups on zero-dimensional groups are mutually disjoint. The proofs exploit differences in the entropy geometry arising from subdynamics and a form of Abramov--Rokhlin formula for half-space entropies.

In this work we derive local gradient and Laplacian estimates of the Aronson-Bénilan and Li-Yau type for positive solutions of porous medium equations posed on Riemannian manifolds with a lower Ricci curvature bound. We also prove similar results for some fast diffusion equations. Inspired by Perelman's work we discove…

The entropy of a hypersurface is given by the supremum over all F-functionals with varying centers and scales, and is invariant under rigid motions and dilations. As a consequence of Huisken's monotonicity formula, entropy is non-increasing under mean curvature flow. We show here that a compact mean convex hypersurface…
