Abstract

We consider second-order linear elliptic operators of nondivergence type which are intrinsically defined on Riemannian manifolds. Cabré proved a global Krylov-Safonov Harnack inequality under the assumption that the sectional curvature is nonnegative. We improve Cabré'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.
