On the Heat Kernel under the Ricci Flow Coupled with the Harmonic Map Flow

Differential Geometry 2013-09-03 v1

Abstract

We estimate the heat kernel on a closed Riemannian manifold MM, with dim(M)3dim(M)\geq 3, evolving under the Ricci-harmonic map flow and the result depends on some constants arising from a Sobolev imbedding theorem. In a special case, when the scalar curvature satisfies a certain natural inequality, we obtain, as a corollary, a bound similar to the one known for the fixed metric case.
