Normalized Ricci flow on nonparabolic surfaces

Differential Geometry 2007-06-13 v2

Abstract

This paper studies normalized Ricci flow on a nonparabolic surface, whose scalar curvature is asymptotically -1 in an integral sense. By a method initiated by R. Hamilton, the flow is shown to converge to a metric of constant scalar curvature -1. A relative estimate of Green's function is proved as a tool.
