Analysis of the conjugate heat equation, Shilong Kuang, University of California, Riverside, Wed, 1 July, 2009, 10:00 a.m. A-233
Abstract
In the presentation, I would like to cover the following (most parts are accessible to the audience with a little bit partial differential equation background):
(1) Some results on the point-wise gradient estimate for all positive solutions of the conjugate heat equation. This contrasts to G. Perelman’s point-wise gradient estimate which works mainly for the fundamental solution rather than all solutions; and some applications to this gradient estimate (Harnack inequality etc.) (some technique may involve the general maximum principle, etc.)
(2) Some result for Sobolev embedding on the complete non-compact manifold under Ricci flow. It would involve some technique like the classic heat kernel estimates, log-Sobolev inequality, Marcinkiewicz interpolation Theorem etc.
