Nonexistence of Solutions to classes of parabolic inequalities in the Riemannian setting

Abstract: We establish conditions for nonexistence of global solutions for a class of quasilinear parabolic problems with a potential on complete, non-compact Riemannian manifolds, including the Porous Medium Equation and the p-Laplacian with a potential term. Our results reveal the interplay between the manifold's geometry, the power nonlinearity, and the potential's behavior at infinity. Using a test function argument, we identify explicit parameter ranges where nonexistence holds.
