In this paper we give an explicit bound of $\Delta_{g(t)}u(t)$ and the local curvature estimates for the Ricci-harmonic flow under the condition that the Ricci curvature is bounded along the flow. In the second part these local curvature…

We consider d-dimensional Riemanian manifolds which admit d-2 commuting space-like Killing vector fields, orthogonal to a surface, containing two one-parametric families of light-like curves. The condition of the Ricci tensor to be zero…

We prove that a Ricci curvature based method of triangulation of compact Riemannian manifolds, due to Grove and Petersen, extends to the context of weighted Riemannian manifolds and more general metric measure spaces. In both cases the role…

Berry and Tabor conjectured in 1977 that spectra of generic integrable quantum systems have the same local statistics as a Poisson point process. We verify their conjecture in the case of the two-point spectral density for a quantum…

In this short note we establish an integral geometric inequality in a smooth metric measure space of the nonnegative Bakry-\'Emery Ricci curvature. This result can be regarded as a mild generalization of the almost Schur theorem due to De…

In this note, we establish that the stationary distribution of a possibly non-equilibrium Langevin diffusion converges, as the damping parameter goes to infinity (or equivalently in the Smoluchowski-Kramers vanishing mass limit), toward a…

We study various transport-information inequalities under three different notions of Ricci curvature in the discrete setting: the curvature-dimension condition of Bakry and \'Emery, the exponential curvature-dimension condition of Bauer…

We consider nonparametric Bayesian inference in a multidimensional diffusion model with reflecting boundary conditions based on discrete high-frequency observations. We prove a general posterior contraction rate theorem in $L^2$-loss, which…

The goal of the paper is four-fold. In the setting of non-smooth spaces with Ricci curvature lower bounds (more precisely RCD(K,N) metric measure spaces): - we develop an intrinsic theory of Laplacian bounds in viscosity sense and in a…

The exponential decay of the relative entropy associated to a fully discrete porous-medium equation in one space dimension is shown by means of a discrete Bakry-Emery approach. The first ingredient of the proof is an abstract discrete…

Let $M$ be an $n(>2)$-dimensional closed orientable submanifold in an $(n+p)$-dimensional space form $\mathbb{R}^{n+p}(c)$. We obtain an optimal upper bound for the second eigenvalue of a class of elliptic operators on $M$ defined by…
