We consider the K\"ahler-Ricci flow $\frac{\partial}{\partial t}g_{i\bar{j}} = g_{i\bar{j}} - R_{i\bar{j}}$ on a compact K\"ahler manifold $M$ with $c_1(M) > 0$, of complex dimension $k$. We prove the $\epsilon$-regularity lemma for the…

In this work, we study the rigidity problem for the logarithmic Sobolev inequality on a complete metric measure space $(M^n,g,f)$ with Bakry-\'Emery Ricci curvature satisfying $Ric_f\geq \frac{a}{2}g$, for some $a>0$. We prove that if…

In \cite{ChauMartens} the authors proved the long-time existence of Ricci flow starting from complete bounded curvature Riemannian manifolds with scale-invariant integral curvature bounded by a dimensional constant times the inverse of the…

We prove that if $M$ is a closed $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold, $n \ge 3$, with ${\rm Ric}\ge n-1$ and for which the optimal constant in the critical Sobolev inequality equals the one of the $n$-dimensional sphere $\mathbb{S}^n$, then…

The Sobolev regularity of invariant measures for diffusion processes is proved on non-smooth metric measure spaces with synthetic lower Ricci curvature bounds. As an application, the symmetrizability of semigroups is characterized, and the…

Consider a sequence of pointed n-dimensional complete Riemannian manifolds {(M_i,g_i(t), O_i)} such that t in [0,T] are solutions to the Ricci flow and g_i(t) have uniformly bounded curvatures and derivatives of curvatures. Richard Hamilton…

The fixed points of the generalized Ricci flow are the Bismut Ricci flat metrics, i.e., a generalized metric $(g,H)$ on a manifold $M$, where $g$ is a Riemannian metric and $H$ a closed $3$-form, such that $H$ is $g$-harmonic and…

We verify a conjecture of Perelman, which states that there exists a canonical Ricci flow through singularities starting from an arbitrary compact Riemannian 3-manifold. Our main result is a uniqueness theorem for such flows, which,…

We prove that for a symmetric Markov semigroup, Ricci curvature bounded from below by a non-positive constant combined with a finite $L_\infty$-mixing time implies the modified log-Sobolev inequality. Such $L_\infty$-mixing time estimates…

Consider a Riemannian manifold $(M^{m}, g)$ whose volume is the same as the standard sphere $(S^{m}, g_{round})$. If $p>\frac{m}{2}$ and $\int_{M} \left\{ Rc-(m-1)g\right\}_{-}^{p} dv$ is sufficiently small, we show that the normalized…

We prove that if a closed unit volume Riemannian manifold, $(M^n, g)$, has Ricci curvature bounded from below by r>0 then the Yamabe constant of the conformal class of $g$ is at least $n.r$. This inequality has already been proved by S.…

In this paper the authors study the hyperbolic geometric flow on Riemann surfaces. This new nonlinear geometric evolution equation was recently introduced by the first two authors motivated by Einstein equation and Hamilton's Ricci flow. We…

We first give a precise statement on the short time existence of the Calabi flow and prove a stability result: any metric near a constant scalar curvature metric will flow to this cscK metric exponentially fast. Secondly, we prove that a…

This note is a continuation of [CMZ21]. We shall show that an ancient Ricci flow with uniformly bounded Nash entropy must also have uniformly bounded $\nu$-functional. Consequently, on such an ancient solution there are uniform logarithmic…

In this paper it is proven that the volume entropy of a riemannian metric evolving by the Ricci flow, if does not collapse, nondecreases. Therefore, it provides a sufficient condition for a solution to collapse. Then, for the limit…

In this work, we establish a local smoothing result on metrics with small curvature concentration with respect to Sobolev constants and volume growth. In contrast with all previous works, we remove the Ricci curvature condition and…

Suppose there is a constant scalar curvature metric on a compact Kahler manifold without holomorphic vector field. We prove that the Calabi flow, if it is assumed to exist for all time with bounded Ricci curvature, will converge to the…

Let $({\M}, g(t))$ be a K\"ahler Ricci flow with positive first Chern class. We prove a uniform isoperimetric inequality for all time. In the process we also prove a Cheng-Yau type log gradient bound for positive harmonic functions on…

We consider a normalization of the Ricci flow on a closed Riemannian manifold given by the evolution equation $\partial_{t}g(t)=-2(Ric(g(t))-\frac{1}{2\tau}g(t))$ where $\tau$ is a fixed positive number. Assuming that a solution for this…

Using a size condition of the sharp log Sobolev functional (log entropy) near infinity only, we prove a rigidity result for ancient Ricci flows without sign condition on the curvatures. The result is also related to the problem of…
