Remark on a geometric inequality for closed hypersurfaces in weighted manifolds

Abstract

In this paper we consider noncompact smooth metric measure spaces $(M, g,e^{-f}dvol_{g})$ of nonnegative Bakry-\'Emery Ricci curvature, i.e. $Ric + D^{2}f - \frac{1}{N}df \otimes df \geq 0$, for $0< N \leq \infty$, in order to obtain geometric inequalities for the boundary of a given open and bounded set $\Omega\subset M$, with regular boundary $\partial \Omega$. Our inequalities are sharp for both the cases $N< \infty$ and $N= \infty$, provided that the underlying ambient space has large weighted volume growth. The rigidity obtained for the $N=\infty$ case holds true precisely when $M \setminus \Omega$ is isometric to a twisted product metric and, as such, is a generalization of the Willmore-type inequality for nonnegative Ricci curvature from Agostiniani, Fagagnolo and Mazzieri to the context of weighted manifolds.
