Abstract

We prove a C1\mathsf{C}^1-elliptic estimate of the form supB(x,r/2)grad(ψ)C{supB(x,r)Δψ+supB(x,r)ψ}, \sup_{B(x,r/2)} |\mathrm{grad} (\psi) | \leq C \left\{ \sup_{B(x,r)} |\Delta \psi| + \sup_{B(x,r)} |\psi| \right\}, valid on any complete Riemannian manifold MM and for any smooth function ψ\psi which is defined in a nighbourhood of B(x,r)B(x,r), with an explicit quantitative control on the constant C=C(B(x,r))C=C(B(x,r)) in terms of the curvature of the geodesic ball B(x,r)MB(x,r)\subset M.
