Weighted Cheeger constant and first eigenvalue lower bound estimates on smooth metric measure spaces

We 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.

Generalized Hsiung–Minkowski formulae on manifolds with density

In this work, using the weighted symmetric functions $$\sigma _{k}^{\infty }$$ σ k ∞ and the weighted Newton transformations $$T_{k}^{\infty }$$ T k ∞ introduced by Case (Alias et al. Proc Edinb Math Soc 46(02):465–488, 2003), we derive some generalized integral formulae for close hypersurfaces in weighted manifolds. We also give some examples and applications of these formulae.

Sharp gradient estimates on weighted manifolds with compact boundary

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>In this paper, we prove sharp gradient estimates for positive solutions to the weighted heat equation on smooth metric measure spaces with compact boundary. As an application, we prove Liouville theorems for ancient solutions satisfying the Dirichlet boundary condition and some sharp growth restriction near infinity. Our results can be regarded as a refinement of recent results due to Kunikawa and Sakurai.</p>

ON THE EXISTENCE OF -MAXIMAL SPACELIKE HYPERSURFACES IN CERTAIN WEIGHTED MANIFOLDS

We apply a mean-value inequality for positive subsolutions of the $f$-heat operator, obtained from a Sobolev embedding, to prove a nonexistence result concerning complete noncompact $f$-maximal spacelike hypersurfaces in a class of weighted Lorentzian manifolds. Furthermore, we establish a new Calabi–Bernstein result for complete noncompact maximal spacelike hypersurfaces in a Lorentzian product space.
