Two rigidity theorems on manifolds with Bakry-Emery Ricci curvature. (English) Zbl 1170.53024

Summary: We generalize the Cheng’s maximal diameter theorem and Bishop volume comparison theorem to the manifold with the Bakry-Emery Ricci curvature. As their applications, we obtain some rigidity theorems on the warped product.
