In this paper, we will study the (linear) geometric analysis on metric measure spaces. We will establish a local Li-Yau’s estimate for weak solutions of the heat equation and prove a sharp Yau’s gradient gradient for harmonic functions on metric measure spaces, under the Riemannian curvature-dimension condition RCD(K; N).

We introduce and study an approximate solution of the p-Laplace equation, and a linearlization L_{ε} of a perturbed p-Laplace operator. By deriving an L_{ε}-type Bochner's formula and Kato type inequalities, we prove a Liouville type theorem for weakly p-harmonic functions with finite p-energy on a complete noncompact manifold M which supports a weighted Poincaré inequality and satisfies a curvature assumption. This nonexistence result, when combined with an existence theorem, yields in turn some information on topology, i.e. such an M has at most one p-hyperbolic end. Moreover, we prove a Liouville type theorem for strongly p-harmonic functions with finite q-energy on Riemannian manifolds. As an application, we extend this theorem to some p-harmonic maps such as p-harmonic morphisms and conformal maps between Riemannian manifolds. In particular, we obtain a Picard-type Theorem for p-harmonic morphisms.

We introduce the notion of symplectic flatness for connections and fiber bundles over symplectic manifolds. Given an $A_\infty$-algebra, we present a flatness condition that enables the twisting of the differential complex associated with the $A_\infty$-algebra. The symplectic flatness condition arises from twisting the $A_\infty$-algebra of differential forms constructed by Tsai, Tseng and Yau. When the symplectic manifold is equipped with a compatible metric, the symplectic flat connections represent a special subclass of Yang-Mills connections. We further study the cohomologies of the twisted differential complex and give a simple vanishing theorem for them.
