Abstract

Let MnM^n be an nn-dimensional Riemannian manifold with boundary M\partial M. Assume that Ricci curvature is bounded from below by (n1)k(n-1)k, for k\RRk\in \RR, we give a sharp estimate of the upper bound of ρ(x)=\dis(x,M)\rho(x)=\dis(x, \partial M), in terms of the mean curvature bound of the boundary. When M\partial M is compact, the upper bound is achieved if and only if MM is isometric to a disk in space form. A Kaehler version of estimation is also proved. Moreover we prove a Laplace comparison theorem for distance function to the boundary of Kaehler manifold and also estimate the first eigenvalue of the real Laplacian.
