Abstract: Let M be a closed Riemannian manifold with a family of Riemannian metrics gij(t) evolving by geometric flow partialtgij=−2Sij, where Sij(t) is a family of smooth symmetric two-tensors on M. In this paper we derive differential Harnack estimates for positive solutions to the nonlinear heat equation with potential: �egin{eqnarray*} frac{partial f}{partial t} = {Delta}f + gamma (t) flog f +aSf, end{eqnarray*} where gamma(t) is a continuous function on t, a is a constant and S=gijSij is the trace of Sij. Our Harnack estimates include many known results as special cases, and moreover lead to new Harnack inequalities for a variety geometric flows.
