Four-dimensional generalized Ricci flows with nilpotent symmetry

Differential Geometry 2021-09-17 v1

Abstract

We study solutions to generalized Ricci flow on four-manifolds with a nilpotent, codimension 11 symmetry. We show that all such flows are immortal, and satisfy type III curvature and diameter estimates. Using a new kind of monotone energy adapted to this setting, we show that blowdown limits lie in a canonical finite-dimensional family of solutions. The results are new for Ricci flow.
