Abstract
In this paper, we remove the assumption on the gradient of the Ricci
curvature in Hamilton's matrix Harnack estimate for the heat equation on all
closed manifolds, answering a question which has been around since the 1990s.
New ingredients include a recent sharp Li-Yau estimate, construction of a
suitable vector field and various use of integral arguments, iteration and a
little tensor algebra.
