Space-like quantitative uniqueness for parabolic operators
Abstract
We obtain sharp maximal vanishing order at a given time level for solutions to parabolic equations with a C1 potential V. Our main result Theorem 1.1 is a parabolic generalization of a well known result of Donnelly-Fefferman and Bakri. It also sharpens a previous result of Zhu that establishes similar vanishing order estimates which are instead averaged over time. The principal tool in our analysis is a new quantitative version of the well-known Escauriaza-Fernandez-Vessella type Carleman estimate that we establish in our setting.
