On generalized Heisenberg-type groups $\mathbb{G}(2n,m,\mathbb{U},\mathbb{W})$, we give uniform volume estimates for the ball defined by a large class of Carnot-Carath\'{e}odory distances, and establish weak (1, 1) $O(C^m \, n)$-estimates…
Let $(W,H,\mu)$ be the classical Wiener space on $\R^d$. Assume that $X=(X_t(x))$ is a diffusion process satisfying the stochastic differential equation with diffusion and drift coefficients $\sigma: \R^n\to \R^n\otimes \R^d$, $b: \R^n\to…
To study the reflecting diffusion processes on manifolds with boundary, some new curvature operators are introduced by using the Bakry-Emery curvature and the second fundamental form. As applications, the gradient estimates, log-Harnack…
