Abstract

Let (M,g(t))(M,g(t)), 0tT0\le t\le T, Mϕ\partial M\ne\phi, be a compact nn-dimensional manifold, n2n\ge 2, with metric g(t)g(t) evolving by the Ricci flow such that the second fundamental form of M\partial M with respect to the unit outward normal of M\partial M is uniformly bounded below on M×[0,T]\partial M\times [0,T]. We will prove a global Li-Yau gradient estimate for the solution of the generalized conjugate heat equation on M×[0,T]M\times [0,T]. We will give another proof of Perelman's Li-Yau-Hamilton type inequality for the fundamental solution of the conjugate heat equation on closed manifolds without using the properties of the reduced distance. We will also prove various gradient estimates for the Dirichlet fundamental solution of the conjugate heat equation.
