In this paper we prove that a complete Riemannian manifold is $L^p$-positivity preserving for any $p\in(1,\infty)$. This means that any $L^p$ function which solves $(-\Delta + 1)u\ge 0$ in the sense of distributions is necessarily…

The paper focuses on the $L^{p}$-Positivity Preservation property ($L^{p}$-PP for short) on a Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$. It states that any $L^p$ function $u$ with $1<p<+\infty$, which solves $(-\Delta + 1)u\ge 0$ on $M$ in the sense of…

On a complete Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$, we consider $L^{p}_{loc}$ distributional solutions of the the differential inequality $-\Delta u + \lambda u \geq 0$ with $\lambda >0$ a locally bounded function that may decay to $0$ at infinity.…

The aim of this paper is to prove a qualitative property, namely the preservation of positivity, for Schr\"odinger-type operators acting on $L^p$ functions defined on (possibly incomplete) Riemannian manifolds. A key assumption is a control…

In this paper, we first prove that the following generalized conservation principle holds on complete Riemannian manifolds: for every \(0<s<1\) and \(t>0\), \[ T_t^{(s)}\mathbf 1+\int_0^t T_\tau^{(s)}\mathcal R_s\,d\tau=1 \qquad\text{on }M,…

Stochastic incompleteness of a Riemannian manifold $M$ amounts to the nonconservation of probability for the heat semigroup on $M$. We show that this property is equivalent to the existence of nonnegative, nontrivial, bounded (sub)solutions…

The asymptotic behavior of the heat kernel of a Riemannian manifold gives rise to the classical concepts of parabolicity, stochastic completeness (or conservative property) and Feller property (or $C^{0}$-diffusion property). Both…

We prove some uniqueness result for solutions to the heat equation on Riemannian manifolds. In particular, we prove the uniqueness of $L^p$ solutions with $0< p< 1$, and improves the $L^1$ uniqueness result of P. Li by weakening the…

Let $P$ be a linear, second-order, elliptic operator with real coefficients defined on a noncompact Riemannian manifold $M$ and satisfies $P1=0$ in $M$. Assume further that $P$ admits a minimal positive Green function in $M$. We prove that…

We derive several new applications of the concept of sequences of Laplacian cut-off functions on Riemannian manifolds (which we prove to exist on geodesically complete Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature): In particular,…

A classical result by Alexander Grigor'yan states that on a stochastically complete manifold the non-negative superharmonic $L^1$-functions are necessarily constant. In this paper we address the question of whether and to what extent the…

For Riemannian symmetric spaces $X=G/K$ of noncompact type, we show that for all left $K$-invariant $f\in L^1(X)$, the functions $\|h_t\|_{L^p(X)}^{-1}(f\ast h_t-M_p(f)h_t)$ (with $h_t$ being the heat kernel of $X$) converges to zero in…

In this paper, we propose a class of explicit positivity preserving numerical methods for general stochastic differential equations which have positive solutions. Namely, all the numerical solutions are positive. Under some reasonable…
