Evolution of Functionals Under Extended Ricci Flow

Differential Geometry 2024-11-07 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the evolution of certain functionals involving higher powers of a scalar quantity FF under Bernard List's extended Ricci flow on a compact Riemannian manifold. By deriving explicit expressions for the time derivative of integrals of the form MFnFtdμ\int_M F^n \cdot \frac{\partial F}{\partial t} \, d\mu for various powers nn, we explore the intricate interplay between geometric quantities and scalar functions without making any assumptions about the manifold, the scalar field Φ\Phi, or the function uu.
