Intertwining relations for diffusions in manifolds and applications to functional inequalities (Q2074979): Difference between revisions

Consider the diffusion semigroup \(P_t\) generated by \(L:= \Delta+\nabla V\) on a complete Riemannian manifold. By formulating the derivative of \(P_t\) by a semigroup acting on one-forms involving a generalised Bakry-Émery curvature, twisted intertwining relations are presented for \(P_t\). As applications, Brascamp-Lieb type inequalities and spectral gap results are derived. The main results are illustrated by concrete examples.
