Extract

In the first part of this paper, Yau's estimates for positive L-harmonic functions and Li and Yau's gradient estimates for the positive solutions of a general parabolic heat equation on a complete Riemannian manifold are obtained by the use of Bakry and Emery's theory. In the second part we establish a heat kernel bound for a second-order differential operator which has a bounded and measurable drift, using Girsanov's formula.
