By using a coupling method, an explicit log-Harnack inequality with local geometry quantities is established for (sub-Markovian) di usion semigroups on a Riemannian manifold (possibly with boundary). This inequality as well as the consequent L^2 gradient inequality, are proved to be equivalent to the pointwise curvature lower bound condition together with the convexity or absence of the boundary. Some applications of the log-Harnack inequality are also introduced.Read less <
