A topological splitting theorem for weighted Alexandrov spaces
• Mathematics
• 2009
Under an infinitesimal version of the Bishop-Gromov relative volume comparison condition for a measure on an Alexandrov space, we prove a topological splitting theorem of Cheeger-Gromoll type. As a
Splitting theorems on complete manifolds with Bakry-Émery curvature
In this paper we study some splitting properties on complete noncompact manifolds with smooth measures when $\infty$-dimensional Bakry-\'Emery Ricci curvature is bounded from below by some negative
Splitting theorems for Finsler manifolds of nonnegative Ricci curvature
We investigate the structure of a Finsler manifold of nonnegative weighted Ricci curvature including a straight line, and extend the classical Cheeger-Gromoll-Lichnerowicz splitting theorem. Such a

Let (Y, d) be a Gromov-Hausdorff limit of closed shrinking Ricci solitons with uniformly upper bounded diameter and lower bounded volume. We prove that off a closed subset of codimension at least 2,
Rigidity of manifolds with boundary under a lower Bakry-Émery Ricci curvature bound
We study Riemannian manifolds with boundary under a lower Bakry-E'mery Ricci curvature bound. In our weighted setting, we prove several rigidity theorems for such manifolds with boundary. We conclude

We discuss some geometric conditions under which a complete noncompact shrinking gradient Ricci soliton will split at infinity.
A semigroup approach to Finsler geometry: Bakry--Ledoux's isoperimetric inequality
We develop the celebrated semigroup approach a la Bakry et al on Finsler manifolds, where natural Laplacian and heat semigroup are nonlinear, based on the Bochner-Weitzenbock formula established by
The Splitting Theorem and topology of noncompact spaces with nonnegative N-Bakry Émery Ricci curvature
In this paper, we generalize topological results known for noncompact manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature to spaces with nonnegative $N$-Bakry Emery Ricci curvature. We study the Splitting
Fundamental Groups of Spaces with Bakry–Emery Ricci Tensor Bounded Below
We first extend Cheeger–Colding’s Almost Splitting Theorem (Ann Math 144:189–237, 1996) to smooth metric measure spaces. Arguments utilizing this extension show that if a smooth metric measure space
