On the weighted forward reduced Entropy of Ricci flow

Differential Geometry 2011-03-21 v3

Abstract

In this paper, we first introduce the weighted forward reduced volume of Ricci flow. The weighted forward reduced volume, which related to expanders of Ricci flow, is well-defined on noncompact manifolds and monotone non-increasing under Ricci flow. Moreover, we show that, just the same as the Perelman's reduced volume, the weighted reduced volume entropy has the value (4π)n2(4\pi)^{\frac{n}{2}} if and only if the Ricci flow is the trivial flow on flat Euclidean space.
