Heat-type equations on manifolds with fibered boundaries. I: Schauder estimates (Q6622296)

This article is the first of two parts aimed at providing foundational tools for studying geometric flows on manifolds with fibered boundaries. In this work, the authors establish parabolic Schauder estimates for the Laplace-Beltrami operator on a manifold equipped with a fibered boundary and a \(\Phi\)-metric. The main result demonstrates that the heat kernel acts as a bounded operator between weighted Hölder spaces, enhancing the regularity of functions by two degrees. As a corollary, the authors prove the existence of a solution, for small time, to the Cauchy problem \((\partial_t + \Delta)u = F(u)\) with initial condition \(u|_{t=0} = 0\), under specific conditions on the map \(F\).
