Harnack estimates for the linear heat equation under the Ricci flow

Xiaorui Zhu

Vol. 252 (2011), No. 1, 245–256
Abstract

We consider the linear heat equation on a manifold that evolves under the Ricci flow. The gradient estimates for positive solutions as well as Li–Yau type inequalities are given in this paper. Both the case where M is a complete manifold without boundary and the case where M is compact are considered. We have also obtained the Harnack inequalities for the heat equation on M by previous results.
