Abstract: Let $P_t$ be the diffusion semigroup generated by $L:=Delta+ablaV$ on a complete connected Riemannian manifold with $operatornameRicge-(sigm{a}^{2}h{o}_o^2+c)$ for some constants $sigma,c>0$ and $h{o}_o$ the Riemannian distance to a fixed point. It is shown that $P_t$ is hypercontractive, or the log-Sobolev inequality holds for the associated Dirichlet form, provided $-operatorname{Hess}_{V}gedelta$ holds outside of a compact set for some constant $delta>(1+sqrt2)sigmasqrtd-1.$ This indicates, at least in finite dimensions, that $operatornameRic$ and $-operatorname{Hess}_V$ play quite different roles for the log-Sobolev inequality to hold. The supercontractivity and the ultracontractivity are also studied.
