Abstract. On Kähler manifolds with Ricci curvature bounded from below, we establish some theorems which are counterparts of some classical theorems in Riemannian geometry, for example, Bishop-Gromov's relative volume comparison, Bonnet-Meyers theorem, and Yau's gradient estimate for positive harmonic functions. The tool is a Bochner type formula reflecting the Kähler structure.
IntroductionIn this paper we study some geometric quantities on Kähler manifolds when the Ricci curvature has a lower bound. Our point of view is from Riemannian geometry. To distinguish from the Riemannian case, we derive a Bochner type formula reflecting the Kähler structure. One of the main results is the following:
