Nonlinear geometric analysis on Finsler manifolds

Abstract

This is a survey article on recent progress of comparison geometry and geometric analysis on Finsler manifolds of weighted Ricci curvature bounded below. Our purpose is two-fold: Give a concise and geometric review on the birth of weighted Ricci curvature and its applications; Explain recent results from a nonlinear analogue of the $\Gamma$-calculus based on the Bochner inequality. In the latter we discuss some gradient estimates, functional inequalities, and isoperimetric inequalities.
