Some functional inequalities under lower Bakry-\'{E}mery-Ricci curvature bounds with $\varepsilon$-range

Abstract

For $n$-dimensional weighted Riemannian manifolds, lower $m$-Bakry-\'{E}mery-Ricci curvature bounds with $\varepsilon$-range, introduced by Lu-Minguzzi-Ohta, integrate constant lower bounds and certain variable lower bounds in terms of weight functions. In this paper, we prove a Cheng type inequality and a local Sobolev inequality under lower $m$-Bakry-\'{E}mery-Ricci curvature bounds with $\varepsilon$-range. These generalize those inequalities under constant curvature bounds for $m \in (n,\infty)$ to $m\in(-\infty,1]\cup\{\infty\}$.
