Harnack Inequality and Heat Kernel Estimates
on Manifolds with Curvature Unbounded Below
by Marc Arnaudon, Anton Thalmaier and Feng-Yu Wang
Using the coupling by parallel translation, along with Girsanov's theorem,
a new version of a dimension-free Harnack inequality is established
for diffusion semigroups on Riemannian manifolds with Ricci
curvature bounded below by -c (1+ρ2) , where
c > 0 is a constant and ρ is the Riemannian distance function to a
fixed point ο on the manifold. As an application, in the
symmetric case, a Li-Yau type heat kernel bound is presented
for such semigroups.
