流形上的微分Harnack 估计

In the thesis, we study the differential Harnack estimate for the heat equation of the Hodge Laplacian deformation of (p, p)-forms on both fixed and evolving (by Kähler-Ricci flow) Kähler manifolds, which generalize the known differential Harnack estimates for (1, 1)-forms. On a Kähler manifold, we define a new curvature cone C_p and prove that the cone is invariant under Kähler-Ricci flow and that the cone ensures the preservation of the nonnegativity of the solutions to Hodge Laplacian heat equation. After identifying the curvature conditions, we prove the sharp differential Harnack estimates for the positive solution to the Hodge Laplacian heat equation. We also prove a nonlinear version coupled with the Kähler-Ricci flow after obtaining some interpolating matrix differential Harnack type estimates for curvature operators between Hamilton’s and Cao’s matrix Harnack estimates. Similarly, we define another new curvature cone, which is invariant under Ricci flow, and prove another interpolating matrix differential Harnack estimates for curvature operators on Riemannian manifolds.
