Abstract:The systole of a closed Riemannian manifold is defined to be the length of a shortest noncontractible loop. Gromov's systolic inequality relates systole to volume, which is a curvature free inequality. Gromov proved that systolic inequality holds on closed essential manifolds. Gromov's further work indicates that systolic inequality is related to topological complicatedness of manifol...
In this talk, we discuss the global behaviors of the heat kernel and Green's function one the complete manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature. we first obtain sharp two-side Gaussian bounds for the heat kernel that sharpens the well-known Li-Yau’s two-side bounds, based on the sharp Li-Yau’s Harnack inequality on such a manifold. As an application, we get the optimal gradient and Laplacian...
