9 Stability Theorem (B.-Mc [BMc]) Let (M, g) be a smooth, complete Riemannian manifold with Ric C and inj(m) κ > 0. Suppose that there exist κ 1, κ 2 > 0 such that Re av, v κ 1 v 2 Re ASu, Su κ 2 u 2 H 1 for v L 2 (M) and u H 1 (M). Then for every η i < κ i, whenever ã η 1, Ã η 2, the estimate L A u L A+ Ã u ( ã + Ã ) u H 1 holds for all u H 1 (M). The implicit constant depends in particular on A, a and η i.
