Review text

These lecture notes present geometric results on submanifolds which can be obtained from the Laplace operator applied to distance functions using Rauch's estimates for Jacobi fields. After fixing notation and recalling the basic estimates the text covers the following topics: Green's formula and co-area formula, first Dirichlet eigenvalue comparison, isoperimetric inequalities, Brownian motion, capacity comparison, transience, application to surfaces of revolution and warped products, hyperbolicity, flows in graphs. The text is beautifully written and contains detailed proofs. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1015.53001].
