Recently it has been proved (Lee-Topping 2022, Deruelle-Schulze-Simon 2022, Lott 2019) that three-dimensional complete manifolds with non-negatively pinched Ricci curvature must be flat or compact, thus confirming a conjecture of Hamilton.…

Suppose $G$ is a compact Lie group, $H$ is a closed subgroup of $G$, and the homogeneous space $G/H$ is connected. The paper investigates the Ricci flow on a manifold $M$ diffeomorphic to $[0,1]\times G/H$. First, we prove a short-time…

We prove that at a finite singular time for the Harmonic Ricci Flow on a surface of positive genus both the energy density of the map component and the curvature of the domain manifold have to blow up simultaneously. As an immediate…

Let $(M^n, g)$ be a compact $n$-dim ($n\geq 2$) manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature, and if $n\geq 3$ we assume that $(M^n, g)\times \mathbb{R}$ has nonnegative isotropic curvature. The lower bound of the Ricci flow's existence time…

We construct a global homeomorphism from any 3D Ricci limit space to a smooth manifold, that is locally bi-Holder. This extends the recent work of Miles Simon and the second author, and we build upon their techniques. A key step in our…

We decribe and announce some results (joint with G. Besson, L. Bessieres, M. Boileau and J.Porti) about the geometry and topology of 3-manifolds. Most of the article is primarily intended as an introduction for nonexperts to geometrization…

This project serves to analyze the behavior of Ricci Flow in five dimensional manifolds. Ricci Flow was introduced by Richard Hamilton in 1982 and was an essential tool in proving the Geometrization and Poincare Conjectures. In general,…

Ancient solutions arise in the study of Ricci flow singularities. Motivated by the work of Fateev on 3-dimensional ancient solutions we construct high dimensional ancient solutions to Ricci flow on spheres and complex projective spaces as…

We study the short-time existence and regularity of solutions to a boundary value problem for the Ricci-DeTurck equation on a manifold with boundary. Using this, we prove the short-time existence and uniqueness of the Ricci flow prescribing…

Spacetimes with a vanishing second Ricci invariant, but which are not necessarily Ricci - flat, though common in general relativity, are seldom studied in a coordinate and symmetry independent way by actually using their Ricci invariants.…

We consider the evolution of the asymptotically hyperbolic mass under the curvature-normalized Ricci flow of asymptotically hyperbolic, conformally compactifiable manifolds. In contrast to asymptotically flat manifolds, for which ADM mass…

We study the behavior of the normalized Ricci flow of invariant Riemannian homogeneous metrics at infinity for generalized Wallach spaces, generalized flag manifolds with four isotropy summands and second Betti number equal to one, and the…

We prove that the Ricci flow g(t) starting at any metric on the euclidean space that is invariant by a transitive nilpotent Lie group N, can be obtained by solving an ODE for a curve of nilpotent Lie brackets. By using that this ODE is the…

We prove that for a compact 3-manifold M with boundary admitting an ideal triangulation T with valence at least 10 at all edges, there exists a unique complete hyperbolic metric with totally geodesic boundary, so that T is isotopic to a…

We prove long-time existence of the Ricci flow starting from complete manifolds with bounded curvature and scale-invariant integral curvature sufficiently pinched with respect to the inverse of its Sobolev constant. Moreover, if the…

We prove that a complete solution to the Ricci flow on $M\times [-T, 0)$ which has quadratic curvature decay on some end of $M$ and converges locally smoothly to the end of a cone on that neighborhood as $t\nearrow 0$ must be a gradient…

We study solutions to generalized Ricci flow on four-manifolds with a nilpotent, codimension $1$ symmetry. We show that all such flows are immortal, and satisfy type III curvature and diameter estimates. Using a new kind of monotone energy…

This is a continuation of the research in [16]. Let $(\overline{M},g_{-1})$ be a closed geodesic $r_0$-ball in the hyperbolic space $(\mathbb{H}^n,g_{-1})$. Let $m\neq1$ be a positive constant. In this paper, we show that for $n\geq3$,…

We show that every complete non-compact three-manifold with non-negatively pinched Ricci curvature admits a complete Ricci flow solution for all positive time, with scale-invariant curvature decay and preservation of pinching. Combining…

In this article, we introduce a mass-decreasing flow for asymptotically flat three-manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature. This flow is defined by iterating a suitable Ricci flow with surgery and conformal rescalings and has a number…
