Hamilton's Harnack inequality and the $W$-entropy formula on complete Riemannian manifolds

Xiang-Dong Li

Published 2013-03-06, updated 2014-11-06Version 4

In this paper, we prove Hamilton's Harnack inequality and the gradient estimates of the logarithmic heat kernel for the Witten Laplacian on complete Riemainnian manifolds. As applications, we prove the $W$-entropy formula for the Witten Laplacian on complete Riemannian manifolds, and prove a family of logarithmic Sobolev inequalities on complete Riemannian manifolds with natural geometric condition.

Comments: An improved version of Hamilton's Harnack inequality is given. The Introduction part and Section 2 have been revised. Section 8 is removed
