Review text

The author proves that the Cheng-Yau gradient estimate [\textit{S. Y. Cheng} and \textit{S.-T. Yau}, Commun. Pure Appl. Math. 28, 333--354 (1975; Zbl 0312.53031)] on positive harmonic functions on manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature is globally stable under certain perturbations of the metric. In some cases, one only needs the condition \(\text{Ricci}(x)\geq -\varepsilon/ (1 + d(x)^{2+\delta})\) with \(\delta > 0\) and \(\varepsilon > 0\) small enough.
