On the relation between elliptic and parabolic Harnack inequalities (Q5944549)

The present work deals with Harnack inequalities on manifolds. The authors show that if \((M,g)\) is a complete Riemannian manifold satisfying the scale-invariant local Sobolev inequality and the scale-invariant elliptic Harnack inequality, then \((M,g)\) satisfies the scale-invariant parabolic Harnack inequality. Besides that the authors consider non-classical parabolic Harnack inequalities where the time-space scaling \((t^2,t)\) is replaced by a more general one including scaling of the type \((t^\omega,t)\) for large \(t\) with \(\omega>2.\) They also establish an equivalence between such parabolic Harnack inequalities and certain non-classical two-sided Gaussian estimates of the heat kernel.
