Riesz transforms for symmetric diffusion operators on complete Riemannian manifolds.
We study the weak type (1,1) and the -boundedness, 1 < p ≤ 2, of the so-called vertical (i.e. involving space derivatives) Littlewood-Paley-Stein functions and ℋ respectively associated with the Poisson semigroup and the heat semigroup on a complete Riemannian manifold M. Without any assumption on M, we observe that and ℋ are bounded in , 1 < p ≤ 2. We also consider modified Littlewood-Paley-Stein functions that take into account the positivity of the bottom of the spectrum. Assuming that...
In this paper, we prove two generalized versions of the Cheeger-Gromoll splitting theorem via the non-negativity of the Bakry-Émery Ricci curavture on complete Riemannian manifolds.
