Abstract:

In this note, we obtain the elliptic estimate for diffusion operator L = Δ + \nabla\phi\cdot\nabla$ on complete, noncompact Riemannian manifolds, under the curvature condition CD(K, m), which generalizes B. L. Kotschwar's work [5].  As an application, we get estimate on the heat kernel. The Bernstein-type gradient estimate for Schr\"odinger-type gradient is also derived.

Key words: gradient estimate, Bakry-Emery curvature, diffusion operator
