De Lellis-Topping inequalities on weighted manifolds with boundary (Q2072201)

The De Lellis-Topping inequality implies that if a closed Riemannian manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature is close to being an Einstein manifold, then its scalar curvature is close to being constant [\textit{C. De Lellis} and \textit{P. M. Topping}, Calc. Var. Partial Differ. Equ. 43, No. 3--4, 347--354 (2012; Zbl 1236.53036)]. In this paper, the authors prove a type of De Lellis-Topping inequality for a symmetric \((0,2)\)-tensor field \(T\) on a compact weighted Riemannian manifold with a convex boundary whose Bakry-Émery Ricci tensor is bounded from below by a negative constant. It is also assumed that the divergence of \(T\) is a constant multiple of \(\nabla(\operatorname{tr}T)\) and that \(T(\nu, -)\) is nonnegative on the boundary, where \(\nu\) is the outward unit normal.
