Abstract

In this paper we consider noncompact smooth metric measure spaces (M,g,efdvolg)(M, g,e^{-f}dvol_{g}) of nonnegative Bakry-\'Emery Ricci curvature, i.e. Ric+D2f1Ndfdf0Ric + D^{2}f - \frac{1}{N}df \otimes df \geq 0, for 0<N0< N \leq \infty, in order to obtain geometric inequalities for the boundary of a given open and bounded set ΩM\Omega\subset M, with regular boundary Ω\partial \Omega. Our inequalities are sharp for both the cases N<N< \infty and N=N= \infty, provided that the underlying ambient space has large weighted volume growth. The rigidity obtained for the N=N=\infty case holds true precisely when MΩM \setminus \Omega is isometric to a twisted product metric and, as such, is a generalization of the Willmore-type inequality for nonnegative Ricci curvature from Agostiniani, Fagagnolo and Mazzieri to the context of weighted manifolds.
