De Lellis-Topping type inequalities on smooth metric measure spaces (Q1705063)

Let \((M,g)\) be a~closed manifold of dimension \(n\) with Ricci curvature bounded below and let \(f\) be a~smooth function on \(M\). The authors study the type of De Lellis-Topping type inequality for a~smooth closed metric measure space \((M,g,e^{-f}d\nu)\) with Ricci curvature bounded above of the following form: If \(\text{Ric}_f \geq -(n-1)Hg\) for some constant \(H\geq 0\) and \(K=\max_{x\in M}\Delta f\), then \[ \int_M \left|\text{Ric}-\dfrac{\bar{R}}{n}g\right|^2e^{-f}d\nu \leq \dfrac{n^2}{(n-2)^2} \left(1+\dfrac{4(n-1)H+4K}{n\lambda_1}\right) \int_M\left|\mathrm{Ric}-\dfrac{R}{n}g\right|^2e^{-f}d\nu, \] where \(\bar{R}\) is the average of \(R\) over \(M\) with weighted measure \(e^{-f}d\nu\).
