Let M denote a connected complete Riemannian manifold (possibly with a convex boundary),
the Riemannian distance function from a fixed point and V
C2 (M) such that dµV
eV d x is a probability measure. For any K
0, we prove that K/2 is the infimum over all
> 0 such that RicM HessV
K and
imply the log-Sobolev inequality for the Dirichlet form µV(|
f |2).
