On a large class of Riemannian manifolds with boundary, some dimension-free Harnack inequalities for the Neumann semigroup are proved to be equivalent to the convexity of the boundary and a curvature condition. In particular, for pt(x,y) the Neumann heat kernel w.r.t. a volume type measure μ and for K a constant, the curvature condition Ric−∇Z⩾K together with the convexity of the boundary is equivalent to the heat kernel entropy inequality: where ρ is the Riemannian distance. The main result is partly extended to manifolds with non-convex boundary and applied to derive the HWI inequality.
