Gradient Schrödinger Operators, Manifolds with Density and applications

The aim of this paper is twofold. On the one hand, the study of gradient Schrödinger operators on manifolds with density $ϕ$. We classify the space of solutions when the underlying manifold is $ϕ-$parabolic. As an application, we extend the Naber-Yau Liouville Theorem, and we will prove that a complete manifold with density is $ϕ-$parabolic if, and only if, it has finite $ϕ-$capacity. Moreover, we show that the linear space given by the kernel of a nonnegative gradient Schrödinger operators is one dimensional provided there exists a bounded function on it and the underlying manifold is $ϕ-$parabolic. On the other hand, the topological and geometric classification of complete weighted $H_ϕ-$stable hypersurfaces immersed in a manifold with density $(\amb , g, ϕ)$ satisfying a lower bound on its Bakry-Émery-Ricci tensor. Also, we classify weighted stable surfaces in a three-manifold with density whose Perelman scalar curvature, in short, P-scalar curvature, satisfies $\scad + \frac{\abs{\nabla ϕ}^2 }{4} \geq 0$. Here, the P-scalar curvature is defined as $\scad = R - 2 Δ_g ϕ- \abs{\nabla _g ϕ}^2$, being $R$ the scalar curvature of $(\amb ,g)$. Finally, we discuss the relationship of manifolds with density, Mean Curvature Flow (MCF), Ricci Flow and Optimal Transportation Theory. In particular, we obtain classification results for stable self-similiar solutions to the MCF, and also for stable translating solitons to the MCF, as far as we know, this is the first classification result on stable translating solitons.
