  • Yau and Souplet-Zhang type gradient estimates on Riemannian manifolds with boundary under Dirichlet boundary condition
    Keita Kunikawa; Yohei Sakurai
    Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, Volume:150, Number:4, First page:1767, Last page:1777, Jan. 2022, [Reviewed]

    In this paper, on Riemannian manifolds with boundary, we establish a Yau type gradient estimate and Liouville theorem for harmonic functions under Dirichlet boundary condition. Under a similar setting, we also formulate a Souplet-Zhang type gradient estimate and Liouville theorem for ancient solutions to the heat equation.

  • One dimensional weighted Ricci curvature and displacement convexity of entropies
    Yohei Sakurai
    Mathematische Nachrichten, Volume:294, Number:10, First page:1950, Last page:1967, Sep. 2021, [Reviewed]
    Abstract

    In the present paper, we prove that a lower bound on the 1‐weighted Ricci curvature is equivalent to a convexity of entropies on the Wasserstein space. Based on such characterization, we provide some interpolation inequalities such as the Prékopa–Leindler inequality, the Borel–Branscamp–Lieb inequality, and the Brunn–Minkowski inequality under the curvature bound.

  • Upper bounds for higher-order Poincaré constants
    Kei Funano; Yohei Sakurai
    Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, Volume:373, Number:6, First page:4415, Last page:4436, Mar. 2020, [Reviewed]

    Here we introduce higher-order Poincaré constants for compact weighted manifolds and estimate them from above in terms of subsets. These estimates imply upper bounds for eigenvalues of the weighted Laplacian and the first nontrivial eigenvalue of the -Laplacian. In the case of the closed eigenvalue problem and the Neumann eigenvalue problem these are related to the estimates obtained by Chung-Grigor’yan-Yau and Gozlan-Herry. We also obtain similar upper bounds for Dirichlet eigenvalues and multi-way isoperimetric constants. As an application, for manifolds with boundary of nonnegative dimensional weighted Ricci curvature, we give upper bounds for inscribed radii in terms of dimension and the first Dirichlet Poincaré constant.

  • Comparison Geometry of Manifolds with Boundary under a Lower Weighted Ricci Curvature Bound
    Yohei Sakurai
    Canadian Journal of Mathematics, Volume:72, Number:1, First page:243, Last page:280, Oct. 2018, [Reviewed]
    Abstract

    We study Riemannian manifolds with boundary under a lower weighted Ricci curvature bound. We consider a curvature condition in which the weighted Ricci curvature is bounded from below by the density function. Under the curvature condition and a suitable condition for the weighted mean curvature for the boundary, we obtain various comparison geometric results.
