Volume Growth of Complete Submanifolds in Gradient Ricci Solitons with Bounded Weighted Mean Curvature

In this article, we study properly immersed complete noncompact submanifolds in a complete shrinking gradient Ricci soliton with weighted mean curvature vector bounded in norm. We prove that such a submanifold must have polynomial volume growth under some mild assumption on the potential function. On the other hand, if the ambient manifold is of bounded geometry, we prove that such a submanifold must have at least linear volume growth. In particular, we show that a properly immersed complete noncompact hypersurface in the Euclidean space with bounded Gaussian weighted mean curvature must have polynomial volume growth and at least linear volume growth.

Estimates for Eigenvalues of the Elliptic Operator in Divergence Form on Riemannian Manifolds

We investigate the Dirichlet weighted eigenvalue problem of the elliptic operator in divergence form on compact Riemannian manifolds(M,g,e-ϕdv). We establish a Yang-type inequality of this problem. We also get universal inequalities for eigenvalues of elliptic operators in divergence form on compact domains of complete submanifolds admitting special functions which include the Hadamard manifolds with Ricci curvature bounded below and any complete manifolds admitting eigenmaps to a sphere.
