Ricci-Deturck flow from rough metrics and applications

Differential Geometry 2022-04-18 v2

Abstract

Motivated by the recent work of Lamm and Simon, in this work we study the short-time existence theory of Ricci-Deturck flow starting from rough metrics which are bi-Lipschitz and have small local scaling invariant gradient concentration. As applications, we use it to study several stability problems related to the scalar curvature.
