Asymptotic Stability of the Cross Curvature Flow at a Hyperbolic Metric

Differential Geometry 2008-02-06 v2

Abstract

We show that there exists a suitable neighborhood of a constant curvature hyperbolic metric such that, for all initial data in this neighborhood, the corresponding solution to a normalized cross curvature flow exists for all time and converges to a hyperbolic metric. We show that the same technique proves an analogous result for Ricci flow. Additionally, we show short time existence and uniqueness of cross curvature flow for a more general class of initial data than was previously known.
