Abstract
In this work there is established an optimal existence and regularity theory for second order linear parabolic differential equations on a large class of noncompact Riemannian manifolds. Then it is shown that it provides a general unifying approach to problems with strong degeneracies in the interior or at the boundary.

Appendix: Tensor Bundles
Let M be a manifold and V = (V, π, M) a vector bundle of rank n over it. For a nonempty subset S of M we denote by V | S the restriction π −1(S) of V to S. If S is a submanifold or a union of connected components of ∂ M, then V | S is a vector bundle of rank n over S. As usual, V p : = V {p} is the fibre π −1(p) of V over p. By \(\Gamma (S,V )\) we mean the \(\mathbb{R}^{S}\) module of all sections of V (no smoothness).
As usual, TM and T ∗ M are the tangent and cotangent bundles of M. Then \(T_{\tau }^{\sigma }M:= TM^{\otimes \sigma }\otimes T^{{\ast}}M^{\otimes \tau }\) is for \(\sigma,\tau \in \mathbb{N}\) the \((\sigma,\tau )\)-tensor bundle of M, that is, the vector bundle of all tensors on M being contravariant of order \(\sigma\) and covariant of order τ. In particular, T 0 1 M = TM and T 1 0 M = T ∗ M, as well as \(T_{0}^{0}M = M \times \mathbb{R}\).
For \(\nu \in \mathbb{N}^{\times }\) we put \(\mathbb{J}_{\nu }:=\{ 1,\ldots,m\}^{\nu }\). Then, given local coordinates κ = (x 1, …, x m) and setting
for \((i) = (i_{1},\ldots,i_{\sigma }) \in \mathbb{J}_{\sigma }\), \((\,j\,) \in \mathbb{J}_{\tau }\), the local representation of a \((\sigma,\tau )\)-tensor field \(a \in \Gamma (T_{\tau }^{\sigma }M)\) with respect to these coordinates is given by
with \(a_{(j)}^{(i)} \in \mathbb{R}^{U_{\kappa }}\). We use the summation convention for (multi-)indices labeling coordinates or bases. Thus such a repeated index, which appears once as a superscript and once as a subscript, implies summation over its whole range.
Suppose \(\sigma _{1},\sigma _{2},\tau _{1},\tau _{2} \in \mathbb{N}\). Then the complete contraction
is defined as follows: Given \((i_{k}) \in \mathbb{J}_{\sigma _{k}}\) and \((j_{k}) \in \mathbb{J}_{\tau _{k}}\) for k = 1, 2, we set
etc., using obvious interpretations if \(\min \{\sigma,\tau \}= 0\). Suppose \(a \in \Gamma (T_{\tau _{2}+\sigma _{1}}^{\sigma _{2}+\tau _{1}}M)\) and \(b \in \Gamma (T_{\tau _{1}}^{\sigma _{1}}M)\) are locally represented on \(U_{\kappa }\) by
Then the local representation of a ⋅ b on \(U_{\kappa }\) is given by
Let g be a Riemannian metric on TM. We write \(g_{\flat }: TM \rightarrow T^{{\ast}}M\) for the (fiber-wise defined) Riesz isomorphism. Thus \(\langle g_{\flat }X,Y \rangle = g(X,Y )\) for \(X,Y \in \Gamma (TM)\), where \(\langle \cdot,\cdot \rangle: \Gamma (T^{{\ast}}M) \times \Gamma (TM) \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{M}\) is the natural (fiber-wise defined) duality pairing. The inverse of g ♭ is denoted by \(g^{\sharp }\). Then g ∗, the adjoint Riemannian metric on T ∗ M, is defined by \(g^{{\ast}}(\alpha,\beta ):= g(g^{\sharp }\alpha,g^{\sharp }\beta )\) for \(\alpha,\beta \in \Gamma (T^{{\ast}}M)\). In local coordinates
[g ij] being the inverse of the (m × m)-matrix [g ij ].
The metric g induces a vector bundle metric on \(T_{\tau }^{\sigma }M\) which we denote by \(g_{\sigma }^{\tau }\). In local coordinates
where
for \((i),(j) \in \mathbb{J}_{\sigma }\) and \((k),(\ell) \in \mathbb{J}_{\tau }\). Note g 1 0 = g and g 0 1 = g ∗ and g 0 0(a, b) = ab for \(a,b \in \Gamma (M \times \mathbb{R}) = \mathbb{R}^{M}\). Moreover,
is the vector bundle norm on \(T_{\tau }^{\sigma }M\) induced by g. It follows that the complete contraction satisfies
We define a vector bundle isomorphism \(T_{\tau +1}^{\sigma }M \rightarrow T_{\tau }^{\sigma +1}M\), \(a\mapsto a^{\sharp }\) by
for \(X_{1},\ldots,X_{\tau } \in \Gamma (TM)\) and \(\alpha,\alpha _{1},\ldots,\alpha _{\sigma } \in \Gamma (T^{{\ast}}M)\). If a (j; k) (i) with \((i) \in \mathbb{J}_{\sigma }\), \((j) \in \mathbb{J}_{\tau }\), and \(k \in \mathbb{J}_{1}\) is the coefficient of a in a local coordinate representation, then
This implies
The Levi-Civita connection on TM is denoted by \(\nabla = \nabla _{g}\). We use the same symbol for its natural extension to a metric connection on \(T_{\tau }^{\sigma }M\). Then the corresponding covariant derivative is the linear map
defined by \(\langle \nabla a,b \otimes X\rangle:=\langle \nabla _{X}a,b\rangle\) for \(b \in C^{\infty }(T_{\sigma }^{\tau }M)\) and \(X \in C^{\infty }(TM)\). It is a well-defined continuous linear map from \(C^{1}(T_{\tau }^{\sigma }M)\) into \(C(T_{\tau +1}^{\sigma }M)\), as follows from its local representation. For \(k \in \mathbb{N}\) we define
by ∇0 a: = a and ∇k+1: = ∇∘∇k.
In local coordinates κ = (x 1, …, x m) the volume measure dv = dv g of (M, g) is represented by \(\kappa _{{\ast}}\,dv =\kappa _{{\ast}}\sqrt{g}\,dx\), where \(\sqrt{g}:={\bigl (\det [g_{ij}]\bigr )}^{1/2}\) and dx is the Lebesgue measure on \(\mathbb{R}^{m}\).
The contraction \(\mathsf{C}: T_{\tau +1}^{\sigma +1}M \rightarrow T_{\tau }^{\sigma }M\), a ↦ C a is given in local coordinates by (C a)(j) (i): = a (j; k) (i; k). It follows
Recall that the divergence of tensor fields is the map
If X is a C 1 vector field on M, then \(\mathop{\mathrm{div}}\nolimits X\) has the well-known local representation
The gradient, \(\mathop{\mathrm{grad}}\nolimits u =\mathop{ \mathrm{grad}}\nolimits _{g}u\), of a C 1 function u is the continuous vector field \(g^{\sharp }du\).
Suppose a ∈ C 1(T 1 1 M). Then, in terms of covariant derivatives,
