Eigenvalue lower bounds and splitting for modified Ricci flow

Differential Geometry 2023-05-05 v1 Analysis of PDEs

Abstract

We prove sharp lower bounds for eigenvalues of the drift Laplacian for a modified Ricci flow. The modified Ricci flow is a system of coupled equations for a metric and weighted volume that plays an important role in Ricci flow. We will also show that there is a splitting theorem in the case of equality.
