Gradient estimates for the heat equation under the Ricci-Harmonic Map flow

Differential Geometry 2016-08-10 v1

Abstract

The paper establishes a series of gradient estimates for positive solutions to the heat equation on a manifold MM evolving under the Ricci flow, coupled with the harmonic map flow between MM and a second manifold NN. We prove Li-Yau type Harnack inequalities and we consider the cases when MM is a complete manifold without boundary and when MM is compact, without boundary.
