Abstract We study ancient solutions of polynomial growth to heat equations on graphs and extend Colding and Minicozzi’s theorem [9] on manifolds to graphs: for a graph of polynomial volume growth, the dimension of the space of ancient solutions of polynomial growth is bounded by the product of the growth degree and the dimension of harmonic functions with the same growth.

Abstract We study ancient solutions of polynomial growth to both continuous-time and discrete-time heat equations on graphs with unbounded Laplacians. We extend Colding and Minicozzi’s theorem [12] on manifolds and the result [22] on graphs with normalized Laplacians to the setting of graphs with unbounded Laplacians: for a graph admitting an intrinsic metric, which has polynomial volume growth, the dimension of the space of ancient solutions of polynomial growth is bounded by the dimension of harmonic functions with the same growth up to some factor.

AbstractSuppose {(M^{n},g)} is a Riemannian manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature, and let {h_{d}(M)} be the dimension of the space of harmonic functions with polynomial growth of growth order at most d. Colding and Minicozzi proved that {h_{d}(M)} is finite. Later on, there are many researches which give better estimates of {h_{d}(M)}. In this paper, we study the behavior of {h_{d}(M)} when d is large. More precisely, suppose {(M^{n},g)} has maximal volume growth and has a unique tangent cone at infinity. Then when d is sufficiently large, we obtain some estimates of {h_{d}(M)} in terms of the growth order d, the dimension n and the asymptotic volume ratio {\alpha=\lim_{R\rightarrow\infty}\frac{\mathrm{Vol}(B_{p}(R))}{R^{n}}}. When {\alpha=\omega_{n}}, i.e., {(M^{n},g)} is isometric to the Euclidean space, the asymptotic behavior obtained in this paper recovers a well-known asymptotic property of {h_{d}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}.

The main results of this paper consist of two parts. First, we obtain an almost rigidity theorem which roughly says that on an [Formula: see text] space, when a domain between two level sets of a distance function has almost maximal volume compared to that of a cylinder, then this portion is close to a cylinder as a metric space. Second, we apply this almost rigidity theorem to study noncompact [Formula: see text] spaces with linear volume growth. More precisely, we obtain the sublinear growth of diameter of geodesic spheres, and study the non-existence problem of nonconstant harmonic functions with polynomial growth on such [Formula: see text] spaces.

AbstractWe study a convolution semigroup satisfying Gaussian estimates on a group G of polynomial volume growth. If Q is a subgroup satisfying a certain geometric condition, we obtain high order regularity estimates for the semigroup in the direction of Q. Applications to heat kernels and convolution powers are given.

We give a uniform lower bound for the polynomial complexity of Reeb flows on the spherization (S*M, ξ) over a closed manifold. Our measure for the dynamical complexity of Reeb flows is slow volume growth, a polynomial version of topological entropy, and our lower bound is in terms of the polynomial growth of the homology of the based loop space of M. As an application, we extend the Bott–Samelson theorem from geodesic flows to Reeb flows: If (S*M, ξ) admits a periodic Reeb flow, or, more generally, if there exists a positive Legendrian loop of a fiber [Formula: see text], then M is a circle or the fundamental group of M is finite and the integral cohomology ring of the universal cover of M agrees with that of a compact rank one symmetric space.
