We consider second-order linear elliptic operators of nondivergence type which are intrinsically defined on Riemannian manifolds. Cabr proved a global Krylov-Safonov Harnack inequality under the assumption that the sectional curvature is nonnegative. We improve Cabr's result and, as a consequence, we give another proof to the Harnack inequality of Yau for positive harmonic functions on Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature using the nondivergence structure of the Laplace operator

We establish Schauder estimates for both divergence and non-divergence form second-order elliptic and parabolic equations involving Hölder semi-norms not with respect to all, but only with respect to some of the independent variables.

Auscher, McIntosh and Tchamitchian studied the heat kernels of second order elliptic operators in divergence form with complex bounded measurable coefficients on <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="double-struck upper R Superscript n"> <mml:semantics> <mml:msup> <mml:mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"> <mml:mi mathvariant="double-struck">R</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> <mml:mi>n</mml:mi> </mml:msup> <mml:annotation encoding="application/
