Antoniouk C∞-REGULARITY OF NON-LIPSCHITZ HEAT SEMIGROUPS ON NONCOMPACT RIEMANNIAN MANIFOLDS We obtain the applications of approach [2, 5, 6] to the high order regularity of solutions to the parabolic Cauchy problem with globally non-Lipschitz coef- ficients growing at the infinity of a noncompact manifold. In comparison to [2], where the semigroup properties were studied by appli- cation of nonlinear estimates on variations with use of local arguments of [11], i.e. for manifolds with the C2 metric distance function, the developed below approach works for the general noncompact manifold with possible non-unique geodesics between distant points. Keywords and phrases: heat parabolic equations, nonlinear diffusions on manifolds, regular properties MSC (2000): 35K05, 47J20, 53B21, 58J35, 60H07, 60H10,60H30 1.Introduction. Below we discuss C∞-regularity with respect to the space para- meter x for solutions of the second order heat parabolic equation ∂u(t, x) ∂t = { 1 2 d∑ σ=1 ( 〈Aσ(x), ∂ ∂x 〉 )2 + 〈A0(x), ∂ ∂x 〉 } u(t, x), (t, x) ∈ IR+ ×M (1) with initial data u(0, x) = f(x). The nonlinear, growing on the infinity coefficients Aσ, A0 represent C∞ smooth vector fields on the noncompact oriented C∞-smooth complete connected Riemannian manifold without boundary M . To obtain C∞-regularity properties of solutions to heat equations (1) in the spaces of continuously differentiable functions we use that the solution to (1) can be represented u(t, x) = (Ptf)(x) = Ef(yx t ) (2) as a mean E of solution to the heat diffusion equation in the Ito- Research is partially supported by grants of National Committee on Science and Technolopgy Ukraine C∞-regularity of heat semigroups on Riemannian manifolds 175 Stratonovich form δyx t = A0(y x t )dt+ d∑ σ=1 Aσ(yx t )δW σ t , yx 0 = x. (3) Here W σ denote the independent Wiener processes on IRd, the mean E is taken with respect to the corresponding Wiener measure on space Ω = C0([0,∞), IRd). Under solutions to (3) it is understood a continuous adapted integrable random process IR+ ×M 3 (t, x) → yx t ∈M such that ∀ f ∈ C∞ 0 (M) f(yx t ) = f(x) + ∫ t 0 (A0f)(yx s )ds+ d∑ σ=1 ∫ t 0 (Aσf)(yx s )δW σ s . (4) Since f(yx t ) and (A·f)(yx t ) are IR1-valued process, (4) represents Stra- tonovich equation on real line IR1. The approach of diffusion processes relates the C∞ properties of semigroup Pt with the regularity properties of process yx t since 1. from representation (2) and majorant theorem it is evident that for continuous with respect to the initial data process x → yx t from f ∈ Cb(M) follows that the solution u(t, x) = (Ptf)(x) to (1) is also a continuous bounded function u(t, x) ∈ Cb(M) for all t > 0 and 2. due to (2) the derivatives of solution u(t, x) with respect to the space parameter x ∈ M can be directly expressed via the derivatives of initial function f and derivatives of process yx t with respect to the initial data x. The already known approaches to the high order regularity of solutions to (1), e.g. [8] and references within, were based on the interpretation of the high order derivatives of process x → yx t with respect to the initial data x as elements y (n) t (x) = T (n)yx t of the high order tangent bundles T nM . However, due to the complicate structure of the high order tangent bundles, the actual study of the high order regularity of process yx t and its semigroup Pt was conducted in the local coordinate vicinities of manifold, leading to the globally Lipschitz assumptions on the coefficients Aσ, A0 and boundedness of curvature and all their derivatives. In comparison to 176 A.Val. Antoniouk the case of linear manifold M = IRn, when under some monotone assumptions on the coefficients of diffusion equation [10, 12] it is possible to have a nonlinear growth of coefficients on the infinity, the elaborated approach to the C∞-regularity of diffusions on noncompact manifolds has not permitted to single out some kind of monotone conditions. In [2, 3] we noticed that, since, evolving in time, process yx t travels through different coordinate vicinities of manifold, its first order derivative with respect to the initial data ∂yx t ∂x = { ∂(yx t )m ∂xk }dimM m,k=1 represents a covector field with respect to the local coordinates (xk) in the vicinity of initial point x and becomes a vector field with respect to the local coordinates (ym) in the vicinity where now travels process yx t , i.e. ∂yx t ∂x ∈ T 1,0 yx t M ⊗ T 0,1 x M . To preserve this tensorial invariance property with respect to the coordinate systems (ym) in the image of flow x → yx t , the new high order variations { ∇∇(n)yx t } of process yx t were introduced 1st variation. { ∇∇(1)yx t }m k = ∂(yx t )m ∂xk , high variations. { ∇∇(n+1)yx t }m k,j1,...,jn = = ∇x k { ∇∇(n)yx t }m j1,...,jn + Γ m p q(y x t ) { ∇∇(n)yx t }p j1,...,jn ∂(yx t )q ∂xk , (5) where ∇x k { ∇∇(n)yx t }m j1,...,jn denotes a classical covariant derivative on variable x ∇x k { ∇∇(n)yx t }m γ = ∂x k { ∇∇(n)yx t }m γ − ∑ j∈γ Γ h k j(x) { ∇∇(n)yx t }m γ|j=h (6) and { ∇∇(n)yx t }m γ|j=h means substitution of index j in multi-index γ = {j1, ..., jn} by h. Above indexes m, p, q correspond to the coordinates in the vicinities, where travels process yx t , indexes k, j, h to the coordi- nate vicinities of initial data x. In comparison to the approach of high order tangent bundles and due to the presence of additional connection term Γ(yx t ) in (5), the nth order variation now represents a vector field with respect to C∞-regularity of heat semigroups on Riemannian manifolds 177 variable yx t and nth order covariant field with respect to variable x ∇∇(n)yx t = {∇∇γ(y x t )m}|γ|=n ∈ Tyx t M ⊗ (T ∗ xM)⊗n i.e. it is understood as a tensor and does not belong to the high order tangent bundle T (n)M . In this article we are going to apply results of [5, 6] to the high order regularity of semigroup. The main tool for research gives the following relation between high order covariant derivatives of semigroup and initial function [2] ∇(n) x Ptf(x) = ∑ j1+...+j`=n,`≥1 E 〈∇ (`) yx t f(yx t ),∇∇ (j1)yx t ⊗ ...⊗∇∇(j`)yx t 〉T 0,` yx t M , (7) where arise variations ∇∇(n) x yx t . Unfortunately, the approach of nonlinear estimates on variations [2] works only for manifolds with smooth Riemannian structures, in particular, when the metric distance function is twice continuously differentiable. It is not so for many C∞ manifolds with non-unique geodesics between distant points, therefore the approach of [2] should be modified. The main result is the following. Suppose that the coefficients of diffusion equation (3) and curvature of manifolds fulfill the following conditions: • coercitivity: ∃ o ∈ M such that ∀C ∈ IR+ ∃KC ∈ IR1 such that ∀x ∈M 〈Ã0(x),∇ xρ2(o, x)〉 + C d∑ σ=1 ‖Aσ(x)‖2 ≤ KC(1 + ρ2(o, x)), (8) where ρ(x, o) denotes the shortest geodesic distance between points x, o ∈M ; • dissipativity: ∀C,C ′ ∈ IR+ ∃KC ∈ IR1 such that ∀x ∈M , ∀h ∈ TxM 〈∇Ã0(x)[h], h〉 + C ∑d σ=1 ‖∇Aσ(x)[h]‖ 2− −C ′ ∑d σ=1〈Rx(Aσ(x), h)Aσ(x), h〉 ≤ KC‖h‖ 2, (9) where Ã0 = A0 + 1 2 d∑ σ=1 ∇AσAσ and [R(A,B)C]m = R m i jkA iBjCk 178 A.Val. Antoniouk denotes curvature operator, related with curvature tensor R m i jk = ∂Γ m i j ∂xk − ∂Γ m i k ∂xj + Γ ` i jΓ m ` k − Γ ` i kΓ m ` j. Due to the presence of additional curvature term conditions (8)- (9) generalize the classical dissipativity and coercitivity condi- tions [10, 12] from the linear Euclidean space to manifold and represent a kind of monotonicity condition for diffusion processes. • nonlinear behaviour of coefficients and curvature: for any n there are constants k• such that for all j = 1, .., n and ∀ x ∈M ‖(∇)jÃ0(x)‖ ≤ (1 + ρ(x, o))k0 , ‖(∇)jAα(x)‖ ≤ (1 + ρ(x, o))kα , ‖(∇)jR(x)‖ ≤ (1 + ρ(x, o))kR. (10) Let ~qk = (q0, q1, ..., qn), qi ≥ 1 be a family of monotone functions on IR+ of polynomial behaviour, that fulfill hierarchy ∀ i ≥ 1 qi(b)(1 + b)k/2 ≤ qi+1(b) ∀ b ≥ 0, (11) related with some parameter k. Denote by Cn ~q(k) (M) the space of n-times continuously covariantly differentiable functions on M , equipped with a norm ‖f‖Cn ~q(k) (M) = max i=0,...,n sup x∈M ‖(∇x)if(x)‖ qi(ρ2(x, o)) . (12) Theorem 1. Under conditions (8)-(10) for any n ∈ IN there is k such that the scale of spaces Cn ~q(k) (M) is preserved under the action of semigroup ∀ t ≥ 0 Pt : Cn ~q(k) (M) → Cn ~q(k) (M) and there are constants K,M such that ∀ f ∈ Cn ~q (M) ‖Ptf‖Cn ~q (M) ≤ KeMt‖f‖Cn ~q (M). (13) Proof is conducted in the following Sections. C∞-regularity of heat semigroups on Riemannian manifolds 179 2. Preliminary study of C∞-regularity of process yx t with respect to the initial data x. Since by (7) the existence of the high order derivatives of semi- group Pt is related with C∞-regularity of process yx t with respect to x, we first discuss the necessary regular properties of variations. Let us introduce a necessary definition for the parallel transport h,yh t TT b a of high order variations. It is specially designed in order to preserve the tensorial transformation law of T 1,0 y h(z) t M⊗T 0,n h(z)M -tensors in the both domain and image of diffusion flow x → yx t , when such tensors move along random path [a, b] 3 z → (h(z), y h(z) t ) ∈M ×M . Definition 2. The parallel transport of tensor u (h(a),y h(a) t ) ∈ T p,q h(a)M⊗ T r,s y h(a) t M from point (h(a), y h(a) t ) along path (h(·), y h(·) t ) ∈ Lip([a, b],M) represents a T p,q h(z)M ⊗ T r,s y h(z) t M -tensor at each point (h(z), y h(z) t ), z ∈ [a, b] of this path. It is denoted by h,yh t TT (h(z),y h(z) t ) (h(a),y h(a) t ) u (h(a),y h(a) t ) = Ψ(z) and for its absolute derivative ID IDz Ψ (i/α) (j/β)(z) def = ∂ ∂z Ψ (i/α) (j/β)(z)+ + i∑ s=1 Γ is k `(h(z)) Ψ i1,..,is−1,k,is+1,..,ip/α (j/β) (z)[h′(z)]`− − j∑ s=1 Γ k js `(h(z)) Ψ (i/α) j1,..,js−1,k,js+1,.,jq/β(z)+ + r∑ `=1 Γ α` m n(y h(z) t )Ψ (i/α1,...,α`−1,m,α`+1,...,αr) (j/β) (z) ∂(y h(z) t )n ∂h(z)k [h′(z)]k− − s∑ `=1 Γ m β` n(y h(z) t )Ψ (i/α) (j/β1,...,β`−1,m,β`+1,...,βs) (z) ∂(y h(z) t )n ∂h(z)k [h′(z)]k the norm || ID IDz Ψ(z)||T p,q h(z) M⊗T r,s y h(z) t M = 0 vanishes in L∞([a, b]) for a.e. random ω ∈ Ω. Here multi-indexes (i) = (i1, ..., ip), (j) = (j1, ..., jq) correspond to the T p,q h(z)-tensorness of Ψ(z), correspondingly (α) = (α1, ..., αr), (β) = (β1, ..., βs) to T r,s y h(z) t -tensorness of Ψ(z) in the domain and image of mapping x→ yx t . 180 A.Val. Antoniouk Remark that the first two lines in the definition of the absolute derivative ID IDz Ψ (i/α) (j/β)(z) along path {h(z), y h(z) t }z∈[a,b] correspond to the classical absolute derivative D Dz Ψ (i/α) (j/β)(z) along path {h(z)}z∈[a,b]. The remaining two lines make the resulting expression to become the invariantly defined tensor with respect to the coordinate transfor- mations in vicinities, where travels process {y h(z) t }z∈[a,b]. Using the autoparallel property of the Riemannian connection ∂kgij(x) = Γ ` k i(x)g`j(x) + Γ ` k j(x)gi`(x), (14) it is easy to check that the derivative of scalar product of T p,q x M ⊗ T r,s yx t M -tensors can be expressed in terms of the new type absolute derivatives d dz 〈u(h(z)), v(h(z))〉T p,q h(z) M⊗T r,s y h(z) t M = = 〈 ID IDz u(h(z)), v(h(z))〉T p,q h(z) M⊗T r,s y h(z) t M+ +〈u(h(z)), ID IDz v(h(z))〉T p,q h(z) M⊗T r,s y h(z) t M (15) and parallel transport operator h,yh t TT constitutes a group ∀ c, d, e ∈ [a, b] h,yh t TT e d h,yh t TT d c = h,yh t TT e c. Then, taking any mixed tensor ψh(a) ∈ T p,q h(a) ⊗ T r,s y h(a) t at point (h(a), y h(a) t ) we have d dz 〈ψh(a), h,yh t TT a zuh(z)〉T p,q h(a) ⊗T r,s y h(a) t = d dz 〈 h,yh t TT z aψh(a), uh(z)〉T p,q h(z) ⊗T r,s y h(a) t = = 〈 h,yh t TT z aψh(a), ID IDz uh(z)〉T p,q h(z) ⊗T r,s y h(a) t = 〈ψh(a), h,yh t TT a z [ ID IDz uh(z) ] 〉T p,q h(a) ⊗T r,s y h(a) t , where we used that the derivative of parallel transport vanishes ID IDz h,yh t TT z aψh(a) = 0. Integrating on variable z ∈ [a, b] we obtain < ψh(a), ∫ b a h,yh t TT a z [ ID IDz uh(z) ] dz >= ∫ b a d dz < ψh(a), h,yh t TT a zuh(z) > dz = C∞-regularity of heat semigroups on Riemannian manifolds 181 =< ψh(a), h,yh t TT a zuh(z) > z=b z=a =< ψh(a), h,yh t TT a buh(b) − uh(a) > . Since ψh(a) was arbitrary, this implies the invariant formula for the increment of mixed tensors along Lipschitz paths h,yh t TT a buh(b) − uh(a) = ∫ b a h,yh t TT a z [ IDuh(z) IDz ] dz (16) and, in particular, recovers a sense of the new type mixed absolute derivative of T p,q h ⊗ T r,s yh t -tensors d dz h,yh t TT a zuh(z) = h,yh t TT a z [ IDuh(z) IDz ] or IDuh(z) IDz = h,yh t TT z a [ d dz h,yh t TT a zuh(z) ] , z ∈ [a, b]. (17) Therefore, since the high order variations ∇∇(n)yx t represent a particular case of T 0,n x ⊗T 1,0 yx t -tensors, they should be related by similar to (16) formulas. To find the sufficient monotone conditions on the existence of the high order derivatives ∇∇(n)yx t of process x → yx t we first construct the solutions y (n) t,x of the associated with (3) variational system and then verify that they represent the high order ∇∇-deriva- tives: y (n) t,x = ∇∇(n)yx t , ∀n ∈ IN . The main result about the C∞-regularity of process yx t follows. Here we also precise the influence of nonlinearity parameter k (10) on the growth of high order derivatives. Lemma 3. Under the conditions of Theorem 1 the new type variations are related by a.e. integral formulas ∀ f ∈ C∞ 0 (M), ∀n ∈ IN f(y h(b) t ) − f(y h(a) t ) = ∫ b a < ∇f(y h(z) t ),∇∇y h(z) t [h′(z)] >T y h(z) t dz, (18) ∇∇(n)y h(b) t − h,yh t TT b a [ ∇∇(n)y h(a) t ] = ∫ b a h,yh t TT b z [ [ ∇∇(n+1)y h(z) t ] [h′(z)] ] dz (19) for any Lipschitz continuous path h ∈ Lip([a, b],M). Moreover, they fulfill estimates ∀n ∈ IN ∃Mn E||∇∇(n)yx t || 2q ≤ e2qMnt(1 + ρ2(x, o))q(n−1)k. (20) 182 A.Val. Antoniouk Remark that estimate (20) actually replaces the tool of nonlinear estimate on variations, discussed e.g. in [2], for manifolds with not everywhere C2-smooth square of metric distance function ρ2(x, z), (x, z) ∈M ×M . Proof. First note that under conditions of Theorem 1 there is a unique strong solution yx t to equation (3), which fulfills estimates on the boundedness and continuity: ∃M ∀ q ≥ 1 [5, Th.5]: E (1 + ρ2(yx t , o)) q ≤ eMqt (1 + ρ2(x, o)) q , [6, Th.6]: Eρ2q(yx t , y z t ) ≤ eMqtρ2q(x, z). (21) Moreover, relation (18) was proved in [6, Th.8]. It remains to demonstrate (19) and estimate (20). Remark that estimate (20) for i = 1 gives an alternative proof of [6, Th.7]. Recall that the differential equations on variations have form [2, Th.9] δ([∇∇yx t ]mγ ) = −Γ m p q(y x t ) [∇∇yx t ]pγ δy q +M m γ αδW α +Nm γ dt (22) with coefficients M m γ α, Nm γ , determined by 1. recurrence base for |γ| = 1, γ = {k}: Mm k α = ∇`A m α (yx t )∇∇ky `, Nm k = ∇`A m 0 (yx t )∇∇ky `; (23) 2. recurrence step M m γ∪{k} α = ∇∇kM m γ α +R m p `q(∇∇γy p)(∇∇ky `)Aq α, (24) Nm γ∪{k} = ∇∇kN m γ +R m p `q(∇∇γy p)(∇∇ky `)Aq 0. (25) The unique strong solution of variational system (22) can be const- ructed either by gluing together the solutions of variational equations, localized to the local coordinate vicinities of U ⊂ M on the random time intervals of entering and leaving such vicinities, or with the use of monotone approximations of system (22), similar to [1]. Taking the differential of norm of variational process we have [2, Lemma 10] d‖∇∇(i)yx t ‖ 2 = gγε(x) { gmn(∇∇γy mM n ε α + ∇∇εy nM m γ α)dW α+ +gmn(∇∇γy mNn ε + ∇∇εy nNm γ +M m γ αM n ε α)dt+ C∞-regularity of heat semigroups on Riemannian manifolds 183 + 1 2 gmn(∇∇γy m P n ε + ∇∇εy n Pm γ )dt } (26) with |γ| = |ε| = i and expressions Pm γ are recurrently defined by Pm k = ∇y `∇AαA m α · ∇∇ky ` − R(Aα,∇∇ky)Aα; (27) Pm γ∪{k} = ∇∇kP m γ + 2R m p `qM p γ α(∇∇ky `)Aq α+ +(∇sR m p `q)(∇∇γy p)(∇∇ky `)Aq αA s α +R m p `q(∇∇γy p)(∇∇kA ` α)Aq α+ (28) +R m p `q(∇∇γy p)(∇∇ky `)(∇AαAα). Since in (28) Pm γ∪{k} = ∇∇kP m γ + ..., the high order coefficient permits representation Pm γ = ∇`∇AαA m α · ∇∇γy ` − R(Aα,∇∇γy)Aα+ + ∑ β1∪..∪βs=γ, s≥2 Kβ1,..,βs(∇∇β1y, ...,∇∇βsy) with coefficients Kβ1,...,βs, depending on A0, Aα, R and their covariant derivatives. In the same way, due to (23)-(25), we have similar asymptotic M m γ α = ∇y `A m α [∇∇γy `]+ ∑ β1∪...∪βs=γ, s≥2 K ′ β1,...,βs (∇∇β1y, ...,∇∇βsy); (29) N m γ = ∇y `A 0 α[∇∇γy `] + ∑ β1∪...∪βs=γ, s≥2 K ′′ β1,...,βs (∇∇β1y, ...,∇∇βsy) with multilinear coefficients K ′, K ′′, depending on A0, Aα, R and their covariant derivatives. Therefore from (26) the principal part of differential is d‖∇∇(i)yx t ‖ 2 = 2〈∇∇(i)y,∇y `Aα[∇∇(i)y`]〉dW α+ +{2〈∇∇(i)y,∇y ` Ã0[∇∇ (i)y`]〉 + d∑ α=1 ‖∇Aα[∇∇(i)y] ‖2− − d∑ α=1 〈R(Aα,∇∇ (i)y)Aα,∇∇ (i)y〉 }dt+ + ∑ j1+...+js=i, s≥2 〈∇∇(i)y, {K1 j1,...,js,α(∇∇(j1)y, ...,∇∇(js)y)dW α+ +K2 j1,...,js (∇∇(j1)y, ...,∇∇(js)y)dt}〉, (30) i.e. the dissipativity condition arises in the principal part. Like before the coefficients K1, K2 depend on covariant derivatives of A0, Aα, R. 184 A.Val. Antoniouk Using asymptotic (30) we come to the dissipativity condition (9) in principal part and additional terms with lower order variations h(t) = E||∇∇(i)yx t || 2q ≤ h(0)+ +KE ∫∫ t 0 ‖∇∇(i)yx t ‖ 2(q−1){dissipativity}C,C′(∇∇(i)yx t ,∇∇ (i)yx t )dt+ + ∑ j1+...+js=i, s≥2 E ∫ t 0 ‖∇∇(i)yx t ‖ 2(q−1)〈∇∇(i)y,Kj1,...,js(∇∇ (j1)y, ...,∇∇(js)y)〉dt.

To transform the last term let us use the inductive assumption (20) for lower order variations.

C∞-regularity of heat semigroups on Riemannian manifolds 185 Finally, let us show how to prove (19). Making assumption that the differential equation on the parallel transport h,yh t TT z ay (n) t,h(a) of the high order variation has similar to (22) form: δ [ h,yh t TT z a y (n) t,h(a) ] =−Γ ( h,yh t TT z a y (n) t,h(a), δy h(b) t ) + ∑ α K(n) α (z)δW α+L(n)(z)dt, (33) the following relations are found: ∀ z ∈ [a, b]    ID IDz Kz α = R(Ψz, Aα(y h(z) t ))y (1) t,h(z)[h ′(z)]; ID IDz Lz = R(Ψz, A0(y h(z) t ))y (1) t,h(z)[h ′(z)]. (34) with the initial data K (n) α (a) = M (n) α , L(n)(a) = N (n) defined in (22) due to h,yh t TT a a = Id. These relations are proved in analogue to the proof of [3, Th.7]. Indeed, taking the integral version of the parallel transport equation ID IDz ( h,yh t TT z ay (n) t,h(a)) = 0, the expression ∂ ∂z ( h,yh t TT z ay (n) t,h(a)) is written via the connection terms. The further application of Newton- Leibnitz formula gives the local increments of h,yh t TT z ay (n) t,h(a) − y (n) t,h(a) as the integrals on [a, z] of these connection terms. Finally, calculating the Stratonovich differential of these integral formulas, comparing them with the representation (33) and proceeding further by scheme [2, (3.11)-(3.19)] the relation (34) is found. After that the application of (16) to (34) leads to    K (n) α (z) = h,yh t TT z aM (n) α + + z∫∫ a h,yh t TT z u { R y h(u) t ( h,yh t TT u a y (n) t,h(a), Aα(y h(u) t ) ) y (1) t,h(u)[h ′(u)] } du; L(n)(z) = h,yh t TT z aN (n)+ + z∫∫ a h,yh t TT z u { R y h(u) t ( h,yh t TT u a y (n) t,h(a), A0(y h(u) t ) ) y (1) t,h(u)[h ′(u)] } du (35) 186 A.Val. Antoniouk To obtain relation (19), by schemes of [1] and [7, Sect.4.4-4.5] the following two estimates on the continuity and regularity of variations are required: for any Lipschitz continuous path h ∈ Lip([a, b],M) E|| y (n) t,h(b)− h,yh t TT b a y (n) t,h(a) || p T 1,0 y h(b) t ⊗T 0,n h(b) ≤ |b− a|p||h′||pL∞([a,b],TM)e Kp,nt ×polp,n ( 1 + ρ(h(a), o) + |b− a| · ||h′||L∞([a,b],TM) ) ; (36) E|| y (n) t,h(b)− h,yh t TT b a y (n) t,h(a) − y (n+1) t,h(b) [∫ b a h T b z h ′(z)dz ] ||p T 1,0 y h(b) t ⊗T 0,n h(b) ≤ ≤ |b− a|2p||h′||2p L∞([a,b],TM)e Kp,nt ×polp,n ( 1 + ρ(h(a), o) + |b− a| · ||h′||L∞([a,b],TM) ) (37) with some polynomials polp,n (·), depending on the order of nonlinearity k (10), h T b z denoting the classical parallel transport of tensor along path h from h(z) to h(b). By the theory of absolute continuous functions, estimate (36) leads to the existence of derivative ID IDz h,yh t TT b zy (n) t,h(z) and estimate (37) calculates this derivative, leading to (19). To obtain estimate (36), let us first note, that by (29) M m γ α(b)− h,yh t TT b aM m γ α(a) = ∇y `A m α (y h(b) t )[∇∇γy ` t,h(b)]− − h,yh t TT b a ( ∇y `A m α (y h(a) t )[∇∇γy ` t,h(a)] ) + + ∑ β1∪...∪βs=γ, s≥2 { K ′,h(b) β1,...,βs (∇∇β1yt,h(b), ...,∇∇βsyt,h(b)) − − h,yh t TT b a ( K ′,h(a) β1,...,βs (∇∇β1yt,h(a), ...,∇∇βsyt,h(a)) )} = = ∇y `A m α (y h(b) t )[∇∇γy ` t,h(b)− h,yh t TT b a∇∇γy ` t,h(a)] + + { ∇y `A m α (y h(b) t )− h,yh t TT b a [ ∇y `A m α (y h(a) t ) ]} [ h,yh t TT b a∇∇γy ` t,h(a)]+ C∞-regularity of heat semigroups on Riemannian manifolds 187 + ∑ β1∪...∪βs=γ, s≥2 { K ′,h(b) β1,...,βs − h,yh t TT b aK ′,h(a) β1,...,βs } (∇∇β1yt,h(b), ...,∇∇βsyt,h(b))+ + ∑ β1∪...∪βs=γ, s≥2 s∑ j=1 [ h,yh t TT b aK ′,h(a) β1,...,βs ] ( h,yh t TT b a∇∇β1yt,h(a), ..., h,yh t TT b a∇∇βj−1 yt,h(a), ∇∇βj yt,h(b)− h,yh t TT b a∇∇βj yt,h(a),∇∇βj+1 yt,h(b), ...,∇∇βsyt,h(b) ) . Due to (16) and the first order regularity of process yx t on initial data (18), multiples ∇y `A m α (y h(b) t )− h,yh t TT b a∇ y `A m α (y h(a) t ) and K ′,h(b) β1,...,βs − h,yh t TT b aK ′,h(a) β1,...,βs are represented as integrals on [a, b] with linear dependence on factor h′. Thus, by equations (22), (29), (33) and (35), the principal parts of equations on the continuity difference ε (n) t = y (n) t,h(b)− h,yh t TT b a y (n) t,h(a) has form δ(ε (n) t ) = −Γ(ε (n) t , δy (h(b) t )+ + ∑ α { ∇Aα[ε (n) t ] + P (n) α (Aα, R, ε (1), ..., ε(n−1)) } δW α+ + { ∇A0[ε (n) t ] + P (n) α (Aα, R, A0 ε (1), ..., ε(n−1)) } dt, with linear with respect to factor h′ and integral on [a, b] terms P (n) α , P (n) 0 , depending in the polynomial way of coefficients Aα, A0, curvature R and their covariant derivatives. Therefore, proceeding like in the previous part of the proof (30)- (32), singling out the dissipativity condition and using e (n) 0 = 0, the inequality (36) is proved in the inductive on the order of variation way. Similar, but more bookkeeping arguments work for the diffe- rentiability difference ∆ (n) t =y (n) t,h(b)− h,yh t TT b a y (n) t,h(a)−y (n+1) t,h(b) [∫ b a h T b z h ′(z)dz ] in (37), however there are applied relation like Sβ1,...,βs(y h(b) t )− h,yh t TT b aSβ1,...,βs(y h(b) t )− −∇∇ySβ1,...,βs(y h(b) t ) [ ∫ b a h,yh t TT b ay (1) t,h(z)[h ′(z)]dz ] = = ∫ b a ∇∇ySβ1,...,βs(y h(z) t ) [ h,yh t TT b ay (1) t,h(z)[h ′(z)] ] dz− 188 A.Val. Antoniouk −∇∇ySβ1,...,βs(y h(b) t ) [ ∫ b a h,yh t TT b ay (1) t,h(z)[h ′(z)]dz ] = = ∫ b a dz ∫ b z du ( h,yh t TT z u∇∇ y∇∇ySβ1,...,βs(y h(u) t ) ) × × [ h,yh t TT z u ( y (1) t,h(u)[h ′(u)] ) , y (1) t,h(z)[h ′(z)] ] . to conclude that the differentials of difference expressions have form δ(∆ (n) t ) = −Γ(ε (n) t , δy h(b) t )+ + ∑ α { ∇Aα[∆ (n) t ] +Q (n) α (Aα, R, ∆(1), ...,∆(n−1)) } δW α+ + { ∇A0[ε (n) t ] +Q (n) α (Aα, R, A0 ∆(1), ...,∆(n−1)) } dt with quadratic with respect to factor h′ and integral on [a, b]2 multiples Q (n) α , Q (n) 0 . Due to ∆ (n) 0 = 0 this leads to (37) with powers 2p in the r.h.s. 3.Proof of C∞-regularity of semigroup Pt (Theorem 1). First we are going to obtain the representation formula for deri- vatives of semigroup via new type variations (7). Theorem 4. For any f ∈ Cn ~q (M) the semigroup Ptf is n-times continuously differentiable on x for any t ≥ 0. Its high order deriva- tives are defined by (7). Proof. Introduce notations δm(f, x, t) = ∑ j1+...+j`=m,`≥1 E 〈∇ (`) yx t f(yx t ),∇∇(j1)yx t ⊗ ...⊗∇∇(j`)yx t 〉T 0,` yx t M (38) for the left hand sides of (7). First we are going to demonstrate that for any f ∈ Cn ~q (M) expressions δm(f, x, t) ∈ T 0,m x M are continuous on x ∈M for any m = 1, ..., n, t ≥ 0. Let h ∈ Lip([a, b],M) be any Lipschitz path. Let’s apply (20) to find majorant function for terms under expectation E in [a, b] 3 z → δm(f, h(z), t). From (18) and ||∇xρ(x, o)|| ≤ 1 follows estimate ρ(o, y h(z) t ) ≤ ρ(o.y h(a) t ) + ∫ z a ||∇ y h(θ) t ρ(o, y h(θ) t )|| · || dy h(θ) t dθ ||dθ ≤ C∞-regularity of heat semigroups on Riemannian manifolds 189 ≤ ρ(o, y h(a) t ) + ∫ b a ||∇∇(1)y h(θ) t || · ||h′(θ)||dθ. Due to f ∈ Cn ~q (M) it leads to ||∇(`)f(y h(z) t )|| ≤ ||f ||Cn ~q p`(ρ 2(o, y h(z) t )) ≤ ≤ Kp` ||f ||Cn ~q ( 1 + ρ(o, y h(z) t ) )2deg(p`) ≤ ≤ Kp` ||f ||Cn ~q ( 1 + ρ(o, y h(a) t ) + ||h′||L∞[a,b] ∫ b a ||∇∇(1)y h(θ) t ||dθ )2deg(p`) (39) and the last expression provides uniform on z ∈ [a, b] majorant, which is integrable due to estimates (20) and (21). In a similar way we find majorant for variational processes in expression δm(f, h(z), t), z ∈ [a, b]. Due to (19) ∀ z ∈ [a, b] || ∇∇(j)y h(z) t || y h(z) t ≤ ≤ ||∇∇(j)y h(a) t || y h(a) t + ||h′||L∞[a,b] ∫ b a || ∇∇(`+1)y h(θ) t || y h(θ) t dθ (40) and the right hand side of (40) is integrable in any power due to (20). Property (19) and majorants (39),(40) lead to a.e. continuity on parameter z ∈ [a, b] of expressions under expectation E in δm(f, h(z), t), m = 0, ..., n for f ∈ Cn ~q (M). The further application of Lebesgue majorant theorem demonstrates the continuity of map- pings [a, b] 3 z → δm(f, h(z), t), m = 0, ..., n, for any Lipschitz path h ∈ Lip([a, b],M) and f ∈ Cn ~q (M). Since such continuity along paths h represents one of possible characterizations of continuous mappings, we conclude the a.e. conti- nuity of expressions δm mapping M 3 x → δm(f, x, t) ∈ T 0,mM is continuous for any f ∈ Cn ~q (M) and t ≥ 0, m = 0, ..., n. Now we can recurrently prove the required relation ∇(m)Ptf(x) = δm(f, x, t). Base of recurrence (m = 1). Using representation Ptf(x) = Ef(yx t ) and (41) for ` = 0 we obtain Ptf(h(b)) − Ptf(h(a)) = E [ f(y h(b) t ) − f(y h(a) t ) ] = 190 A.Val. Antoniouk = E ∫ b a < ∇f(y h(z) t ),∇∇(1)y h(z) t [h′(z)] > dz. Due to the existence of majorants (39) and (40) for ` = 1, the expectation and integral can be changed in order. We obtain that for any h ∈ Lip([a, b],M) Ptf(h(b)) − Ptf(h(a)) = ∫ b a E < ∇f(y h(z) t ),∇∇(1)y h(z) t [h′(z)] > dz and by the theory of absolutely continuous functions conclude the existence of derivative dPtf(h(z)) dz = E〈∇f(y h(z) t ),∇∇(1)y h(z) t [h′(z)]〉 = 〈δ1(f, h(z), t), h ′(z)〉. Since δ1(f, x, t) is continuous on x, this leads to the existence of continuous first order derivative ∇Ptf(x) and identity ∇xPtf(x) = δ1(f, x, t). Recurrence step. Suppose that we already proved relation ∇ (`) x Ptf(x) = δ`(f, x, t) for any ` = 0, ..., m < n. Let us show it for m + 1. First note that from property dy h(z) t dz = ∇∇(1)y h(z) t [h′(z)] (18) and a.e. relations (19) follows a.e. relation ∀ ` = 0, n− 1 ∇(`)f(y h(b) t )− h,yh t TT b a [ ∇(`)f(y h(a) t ) ] = = ∫ b a h,yh t TT b z ( ∇(`+1)f(y h(z) t ) [ ∇∇(1)y h(z) t [h′(z)] ]) dz (41) for any f ∈ Cn 0 (M). Taking cutoffs fχU with χU |U = 1, χU ∈ C∞ 0 (M, [0, 1]) and tending U ↗M , representation (41) can be closed to any f ∈ Cn ~q (M). Consider the corresponding difference ∇(m)Ptf(h(b))− h T b a [ ∇(m)Ptf(h(a)) ] = = E ∑ j1+...+j`=m, `≥1 [ 〈∇(`)f(y h(b) t ), [∇∇(j1)y h(b) t ] ⊗ ...⊗ [∇∇(j`)y h(b) t ]〉T 0,` y h(b) t − − h T b a〈∇ (`)f(y h(a) t ), [∇∇(j1)y h(a) t ] ⊗ ...⊗ [∇∇(j`)y h(a) t ]〉T 0,` y h(a) t ] . C∞-regularity of heat semigroups on Riemannian manifolds 191 Relations (41) and (19) lead to ∑ j1+...+j`=m, `≥1 [ 〈∇(`)f(y h(b) t ), [∇∇(j1)y h(b) t ] ⊗ ...⊗ [∇∇(j`)y h(b) t ]〉− − h T b a〈∇ (`)f(y h(a) t ), [∇∇(j1)y h(a) t ] ⊗ ...⊗ [∇∇(j`)y h(a) t ]〉 ] = = ∫ b a ∑ j1+...+j`=m+1, `≥1 h T b z [ 〈∇(`)f(y h(z) t ), [∇∇(j1)y h(z) t ] ⊗ ... ⊗[∇∇(j`)y h(z) t ]〉[h′(z)] ] dz, i.e. recover the structure of integrand in (38). The existence of majorants (39) and (40) permits to change the order of integration and expectation, leading to ∇(m)Ptf(h(b))− h T b a [ ∇(m)Ptf(h(a)) ] = ∫ b a h T b z [δm+1(f, h(z), t)[h ′(z)]] dz. Therefore the mapping [a, b] 3 z → h T b z [ ∇(m)Ptf(h(z)) ] is absolutely continuous with derivative d h T b z [ ∇(m)Ptf(h(z)) ] dz = h T b z [δm+1(f, h(z), t)[h ′(z)]] . Since δm+1(f, x, t) is continuous on x, we conclude that the (m+1)th derivative of semigroup is represented by δm+1(f, x, t). The final step of the proof of Theorem 4 lies in the verification of estimate (13). It follows the scheme of [2, Th.15] with application of estimates (20) instead of nonlinear estimates on variations. Theorem 5. Under conditions of Theorem 1 estimate (13) holds. Proof. We apply (20) and (21) to estimate the corresponding 192 A.Val.
