In this paper, we first prove the $f$-mean curvature comparison in a smooth metric measure space when the Bakry-Emery Ricci tensor is bounded from below and $|f|$ is bounded. Based on this, we define a Myers-type compactness theorem by…

For Riemannian manifolds with a smooth measure $(M, g, e^{-f}dv_{g})$, we prove a generalized Myers compactness theorem when Bakry--Emery Ricci tensor is bounded from below and $f$ is bounded.

For Riemannian manifolds with a measure $(M,g, e^{-f} dvol_g)$ we prove mean curvature and volume comparison results when the $\infty$-Bakry-Emery Ricci tensor is bounded from below and $f$ is bounded or $\partial_r f$ is bounded from…

We define the orthogonal Bakry-\'Emery tensor as a generalization of the orthogonal Ricci curvature, and then study diameter theorems on K\"ahler and quaternionic K\"ahler manifolds under positivity assumption on the orthogonal…

In this paper, we prove a Laplacian comparison theorem for non-symmetric diffusion operator on complete smooth $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold having a lower bound of modified $m$-Bakry-\'Emery Ricci tensor under $m\leq 1$ in terms of…

We consider generalizations of the drifted Laplacian and the Bakry-\'Emery-Ricci tensor, and we prove a version of the mean curvature comparison theorem. Consequently, we prove a Myers-type theorem and a generalization of the…

We introduce some new curvature quantities such as conformal Ricci curvature and bi-Ricci curvature and extend the classical Myers theorem under these new curvature conditions. Moreover, we are able to obtain the Myers type theorem for…

In this paper, we shall give a new upper diameter estimate for complete Riemannian manifolds in the case that the Bakry-\'Emery Ricci curvature has a positive lower bound and the norm of the potential function has an upper bound. Our…

We consider a condition on the Ricci curvature involving vector fields, which is broader than the Bakry-\'Emery Ricci condition. Under this condition volume comparison, Laplacian comparison, isoperimetric inequality and gradient bounds are…

We prove diameter bounds for graphs having positive Ricci-curvature bound in Bakry-Emery sense. One result using only curvature and maximal vertex degree is sharp in case of hypercubes. The other result depends on an additional dimension…

We prove a Bakry-\'Emery generalization of a theorem of Petersen and Wilhelm, itself a generalization of a theorem of Frankel, that closed minimal hypersurfaces in a complete manifold with a suitable curvature bound must intersect. We then…

In this paper, we will present some characterizations for the upper bound of the Bakry-Emery curvature on a Riemannian manifold by using functional inequalities on path space. Moreover, some characterizations for general lower and upper…

In this paper, we present extensions of the classical Bonnet-Myers theorem for Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature. Our results provide criteria for compactness and a method for estimating the diameter of such manifolds…

The standard Bonnet-Myers theorem says that if the Ricci scalar of a Riemannian manifold is bounded below by a positive number, then the manifold is compact. Moreover, a bound of its diameter is pointed out. The theorem was extended to…

The Bakry-Emery tensor gives an analog of the Ricci tensor for a Riemannian manifold with a smooth measure. We show that some of the topological consequences of having a positive or nonnegative Ricci tensor are also valid for the…

The aim of this note is to study the measure-valued Ricci tensor on smooth metric measure space with boundary, which is a generalization of Bakry-Emery's modified Ricci tensor on weighted Riemannian manifold. As an application, we offer a…

We prove a Bonnet-Myers type theorem for quaternionic contact manifolds of dimension bigger than 7. If the manifold is complete with respect to the natural sub-Riemannian distance and satisfies a natural Ricci-type bound expressed in terms…

In this paper we prove mean curvature comparisons and volume comparisons on a smooth metric measure space when the integral radial Bakry-\'Emery Ricci tensor and the potential function or its gradient are bounded. As applications, we prove…

Let the Ricci curvature of a compact Riemannian manifold be greater, at every point, than the Lie derivative of the metric with respect to some fixed smooth vector field. It is shown that the fundamental group then has only finitely many…

In this paper we study complete manifolds equipped with smooth measures whose spectrum of the weighted Laplacian has an optimal positive lower bound and the $m$-dimensional Bakry-\'Emery Ricci curvature is bounded from below by some…
