A New Entropy Formula and Gradient Estimates for the Linear Heat Equation on Static Manifold

<p>In this paper we prove a new monotonicity formula for the heat equation via a generalized family of entropy functionals. This family of entropy formulas generalizes both Perelman’s entropy for evolving metric and Ni’s entropy on static manifold. We show that this entropy satisfies a pointwi...
