Harnack estimates for nonlinear backward heat equations with potentials along the Ricci-Bourguignon flow

Abstract

In this paper, we derive various differential Harnack estimates for positive solutions to the nonlinear backward heat type equations on closed manifolds coupled with the Ricci-Bourguignon flow, which was done for the Ricci flow by J.-Y. Wu \cite{[WJY12]}. The proof follows exactly the one given by X.-D. Cao \cite{[CXD08]} for the linear backward heat type equations coupled with the Ricci flow.

Keywords: Harnack estimate, nonlinear backward heat type equation, Ricci-Bourguignon flow, blow up
