In this paper the heat equation on a \(d\)-dimensional differentiable manifold without boundary, equipped with a family of complete Riemannian metrics is considered. For the positive solutions gradient estimates (Harnack type inequalities) are established. The stochastic analysis (semimartingale) method is used, showing how the probabilistic approach simplifies analytic attempts. Application to Ricci flow is given.
