contents We develop the celebrated semigroup approach à la Bakry et al on Finsler manifolds, where natural Laplacian and heat semigroup are nonlinear, based on the Bochner-Weitzenböck formula established by Sturm and the author. We show the $L^1$-gradient estimate on Finsler manifolds (under some additional assumptions in the noncompact case), which is equivalent to a lower weighted Ricci curvature bound and the improved Bochner inequality. As a geometric application, we prove Bakry-Ledoux's Gaussian isoperimetric inequality, again under some additional assumptions in the noncompact case. This extends Cavalletti-Mondino's inequality on reversible Finsler manifolds to non-reversible metrics, and improves the author's previous estimate, both based on the localization (also called needle decomposition) method.
