Abstract

We prove the Bochner–Weitzenbock formula for the (nonlinear) Laplacian on general Finsler manifolds and derive Li–Yau type gradient estimates as well as parabolic Harnack inequalities. Moreover, we deduce Bakry–Emery gradient estimates. All these estimates depend on lower bounds for the weighted flag Ricci tensor.
