Bianchi-convex sets and a new maximum principle for the Ricci flow

Differential Geometry 2019-02-26 v1

Abstract

We introduce the new notion of Bianchi-convex sets, a generalization of convex sets of algebraic curvature tensors inspired by the second Bianchi identity. It turns out that Hamilton's maximum principle for the Ricci flow can be generalized for Bianchi-convex sets.
