We study ancient Ricci flows which admit asymptotic solitons in the sense of Perelman. We prove that the asymptotic solitons must coincide with Bamler's tangent flows at infinity. Furthermore, we show that Perelman's $\nu$-functional is…
In this paper we prove that a nonflat K\"{a}hler-Ricci soliton of the Ricci flow on a complex two-dimensional K\"{a}hler manifold with nonnegative holomorphic bisectional curvature can not be of maximal volume growth.
Special Ricci-Hessian equations on K\"ahler manifolds $(M,g)$, as defined by Maschler [Ann. Global Anal. Geom. 34 (2008), 367--380] involve functions $\tau$ on $M$ and state that, for some function $\alpha$ of the real variable $\tau$, the…
We prove that the bi-invariant Einstein metric on $SU_{2n+1}$ is isolated in the moduli space of Einstein metrics, even though it admits infinitesimal deformations. This gives a non-K\"ahler, non-product example of this phenomenon adding to…
The Bakry-Emery Ricci tensor of a metric-measure space (M,g,e^{-f}dv_{g}) plays an important role in both geometric measure theory and the study of Hamilton's Ricci flow. Under a uniform positivity condition on this tensor and with bounded…
We define several notions of singular set for Type I Ricci flows and show that they all coincide. In order to do this, we prove that blow-ups around singular points converge to nontrivial gradient shrinking solitons, thus extending work of…
In this paper, we first show an interpretation of the K\"ahler-Ricci flow on a manifold $X$ as an exact elliptic equation of Einstein type on a manifold $M$ of which $X$ is one of the (K\"ahler) symplectic reductions via a (non-trivial)…
In this paper we introduce a synthetic notion of Riemannian Ricci bounds from below for metric measure spaces (X,d,m) which is stable under measured Gromov-Hausdorff convergence and rules out Finsler geometries. It can be given in terms of…
We report an observation of a stable soliton-like structure on the surface of a ferrofluid, generated by a local perturbation in the hysteretic regime of the Rosensweig instability. Unlike other pattern-forming systems with localized 2D…
We develop different synthetic notions of Ricci flow in the setting of time-dependent metric measure spaces based on ideas from optimal transport. They are formulated in terms of dynamic convexity and local concavity of the entropy along…
In this lecture notes, we aim at giving an introduction to the K\"ahler-Ricci flow (KRF) on Fano manifolds. It covers some of the developments of the KRF in its first twenty years (1984-2003), especially an essentially self-contained…
We investigate how to obtain various flows of K\"ahler metrics on a fixed manifold as variations of K\"ahler reductions of a metric satisfying a given static equation on a higher dimensional manifold. We identify static equations that…
We show a quite simple second variation formula for Perelman's $\mathcal{W}$-functional along the modified K\"ahler-Ricci flow over Fano manifolds.
We show that a strict, nearly K\"ahler $6$-manifold with either second or third Betti number nonzero is linearly unstable with respect to the $\nu$-entropy of Perelman and hence is dynamically unstable for the Ricci flow.
For any number field k, upper bounds are established for the number of k-rational points of bounded height on non-singular del Pezzo surfaces defined over k, which are equipped with suitable conic bundle structures over k.
The Ricci tensor (Ric) is fundamental to Einstein's geometric theory of gravitation. The 3-dimensional Ric of a spacelike surface vanishes at the moment of time symmetry for vacuum spacetimes. The 4-dimensional Ric is the Einstein tensor…
In this short note, we show that given a special K\"ahler-Einstein degeneration with bounded geometry, for any noncentral fiber, there exists a K\"ahler-Ricci flow which converges to the K\"ahler-Einstein metric of the central fiber. As an…
We establish the existence of K\"ahler-Ricci flow on pseudoconvex domains with general initial metric without curvature bounds. Moreover we prove that this flow is simultaneously complete, and its normalized version converge to the complete…
Using quaternions, we give a concise derivation of the Ricci tensor for homogeneous spaces with topology of the 3-dimensional sphere. We derive explicit and numerical solutions for the Ricci flow PDE and discuss their properties. In the…
In this paper we have introduced the notion of $*-$ Ricci flow and shown that $*-$ Ricci soliton which was introduced by Kakimakamis and Panagiotid in 2014, is a self similar soliton of the $*-$ Ricci flow. We have also find the deformation…
