Abstract: Let M be a closed Riemannian manifold with a family of Riemannian metrics gij(t) evolving by a geometric flow partialtgij=2Sij, where Sij(t) is a family of smooth symmetric two-tensors. We derive several differential Harnack estimates for positive solutions to the nonlinear backward heat-type equation �egin{eqnarray*} frac{partial f}{partial t} = -{Delta}f + gamma flog f +aSf end{eqnarray*} where a and gamma are constants and S=gijSij is the trace of Sij. Our abstract formulation provides a unified framework for some known results proved by various authors, and moreover lead to new Harnack inequalities for a variety of geometric flows.
