Abstract
Here, we study the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the Ricci flow on Finsler surfaces and show short time existence of solutions for such flows. To this purpose, we first study the Finslerian Ricci-DeTurck flow on Finsler surfaces and find a unique short time solution to this flow. Then, we find a solution to the original Ricci flow by pulling back the solution of the Ricci-DeTurck flow using appropriate diffeomorphisms. In the end, we illustrate this argument with some examples.
