In this paper, we prove a new Myers’ type diameter estimate on a complete connected Reimannian manifold which admits a bounded vector field such that the Bakry–Émery Ricci tensor has a positive lower bound. The result is sharper than previous Myers’ type results. The proof uses the generalized mean curvature comparison applied to the excess function instead of the classical second variation of geodesics.
