Abstract

The paper establishes a series of gradient estimates for positive solutions to the heat equation on a manifold M evolving under the Ricci flow, coupled with the harmonic map flow between M and a second manifold N. We prove Li-Yau type Harnack inequalities and we consider the cases when M is a complete manifold without boundary and when M is compact without boundary.
