In a recent paper Miranda Jr., Pallara, Paronetto and Preunkert have shown that the classical De Giorgi's heat kernel characterisation of functions of bounded variation on Euclidean space extends to Riemannian manifolds with Ricci curvature bounded from below and which satisfy a uniform lower bound estimate on the volume of geodesic balls of fixed radius. We give a shorter proof of the same result assuming only the lower bound on the Ricci curvature.
