Abstract: This paper continues the study initiated in [B. Davey, Parabolic theory as a high-dimensional limit of elliptic theory, Arch Rational Mech Anal 228 (2018)], where a high-dimensional limiting technique was developed and used to prove certain parabolic theorems from their elliptic counterparts. In this article, we extend these ideas to the variable-coefficient setting. This generalized technique is demonstrated through new proofs of three important theorems for variable-coefficient heat operators, one of which establishes a result that is, to the best of our knowledge, also new. Specifically, we give new proofs of L2oL2 Carleman estimates and the monotonicity of Almgren-type frequency functions, and we prove a new monotonicity of Alt-Caffarelli-Friedman-type functions. The proofs in this article rely only on their related elliptic theorems and a limiting argument. That is, each parabolic theorem is proved by taking a high-dimensional limit of a related elliptic result.
