A revisit to “On BMO and Carleson measures on Riemannian manifolds”

Abstract

Let $\mathcal {M}$ be an Ahlfors $n$ -regular Riemannian manifold such that either the Ricci curvature is non-negative or the Ricci curvature is bounded from below together with a bound on the gradient of the heat kernel. In the paper [IMRN, 2022, no. 2, 1245-1269] of Brazke–Schikorra–Sire, the authors characterised the BMO function $u : \mathcal {M} \to \mathbb {R}$ by a Carleson measure condition of its $\sigma$ -harmonic extension $U:\mathcal {M}\times \mathbb {R}_+ \to \mathbb {R}$ . This paper is concerned with the similar problem under a more general Dirichlet metric measure space setting, and the limiting behaviours of BMO & Carleson measure, where the heat kernel admits only the so-called diagonal upper estimate. More significantly, without the Ricci curvature condition, we relax the Ahlfors regularity to a doubling property, and remove the pointwise bound on the gradient of the heat kernel. Some similar results for the Lipschitz function are also given, and two open problems related to our main result are considered.
