Abstract

In this work we consider viscosity solutions to second order parabolic PDEs ut+F(t,x,u,du,d2u)=0u_{t}+F(t,x,u,du,d^{2}u)=0 defined on compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary conditions. We prove comparison, uniqueness and existence results for the solutions. Under the assumption that the manifold MM has nonnegative sectional curvature, we get the finest results. If one additionally requires FF to depend on d2ud^{2}u in a uniformly continuous manner, the assumptions on curvature can be thrown away.
