AbstractWe establish new eigenvalue inequalities in terms of the weighted Cheeger constant for drifting p-Laplacian on smooth metric measure spaces with or without boundary. The weighted Cheeger constant is bounded from below by a geometric constant involving the divergence of suitable vector fields. On the other hand, we establish a weighted form of Escobar–Lichnerowicz–Reilly lower bound estimates on the first nonzero eigenvalue of the drifting bi-Laplacian on weighted manifolds. As an application, we prove buckling eigenvalue lower bound estimates, first, on the weighted geodesic balls and then on submanifolds having bounded weighted mean curvature.

AbstractWe characterize lower bounds for the Bakry–Emery Ricci tensor of nonsymmetric diffusion operators by convexity of entropy and line integrals on the {L^{2}}-Wasserstein space, and define a curvature-dimension condition for general metric measure spaces together with a square integrable 1-form in the sense of [N. Gigli, Nonsmooth differential geometry—an approach tailored for spaces with Ricci curvature bounded from below, Mem. Amer. Math. Soc. 251 2018, 1196, 1–161]. This extends the Lott–Sturm–Villani approach for lower Ricci curvature bounds of metric measure spaces. In generalized smooth context, consequences are new Bishop–Gromov estimates, pre-compactness under measured Gromov–Hausdorff convergence, and a Bonnet–Myers theorem that generalizes previous results by Kuwada [K. Kuwada, A probabilistic approach to the maximal diameter theorem, Math. Nachr. 286 2013, 4, 374–378]. We show that N-warped products together with lifted vector fields satisfy the curvature-dimension condition. For smooth Riemannian manifolds, we derive an evolution variational inequality and contraction estimates for the dual semigroup of nonsymmetric diffusion operators. Another theorem of Kuwada [K. Kuwada, Duality on gradient estimates and Wasserstein controls, J. Funct. Anal. 258 2010, 11, 3758–3774], [K. Kuwada, Space-time Wasserstein controls and Bakry–Ledoux type gradient estimates, Calc. Var. Partial Differential Equations 54 2015, 1, 127–161] yields Bakry–Emery gradient estimates.

AbstractThe aim of this note is to provide regularity results for Regular Lagrangian flows of Sobolev vector fields over compact metric measure spaces verifying the Riemannian curvature dimension condition. We first prove, borrowing some ideas already present in the literature, that flows generated by vector fields with bounded symmetric derivative are Lipschitz, providing the natural extension of the standard Cauchy–Lipschitz theorem to this setting. Then we prove a Lusin-type regularity result in the Sobolev case (under the additional assumption that the m.m.s. is Ahlfors regular) therefore extending the already known Euclidean result.

In this paper we consider the convex integral functional $ I := \int _\Omega {\Phi (g_u)\,d\mu } $ in the metric measure space $(X,d,\mu )$, where $X$ is a set, $d$ is a metric, µ is a Borel regular measure satisfying the doubling condition, Ω is a bounded open subset of $X$, $u$ belongs to the Orlicz-Sobolev space $N^{1,\Phi }(\Omega )$, Φ is an N-function satisfying the $\Delta _2$-condition, $g_u$ is the minimal Φ-weak upper gradient of $u$. By improving the corresponding method in the Euclidean space to the metric setting, we establish the local boundedness for minimizers of the convex integral functional under the assumption that $(X,d,\mu )$ satisfies the $(1,1)$-Poincaré inequality. The result of this paper can be applied to the Carnot-Carathéodory space spanned by vector fields satisfying Hörmander's condition.
