We explore the harmonic-Ricci flow---that is, Ricci flow coupled with harmonic map flow---both as it arises naturally in certain principal bundle constructions related to Ricci flow and as a geometric flow in its own right. We demonstrate…

We show that $\kappa$-solutions to the Ricci flow in dimensions $n\geq 4$ whose asymptotic shrinking Ricci soliton is the round cylinder $\mathbb{S}^{n-1}\times\mathbb{R}$ must be uniformly PIC. Combined with earlier classification results,…

We complete the proof of the Generalized Smale Conjecture, apart from the case of $RP^3$, and give a new proof of Gabai's theorem for hyperbolic 3-manifolds. We use an approach based on Ricci flow through singularities, which applies…

In this paper, we extend the theory of Ricci flows satisfying a Type-I scalar curvature condition at a finite-time singularity. In [Bam16], Bamler showed that a Type-I rescaling procedure will produce a singular shrinking gradient Ricci…

We generalize the circle bundle examples of ancient solutions of the Ricci flow discovered by Bakas, Kong, and Ni to a class of principal torus bundles over an arbitrary finite product of Fano K\"ahler-Einstein manifolds studied by Wang and…

In this note, we answer affirmatively the question if a warped product of a compact manifold with a line as an ancient solution to the Ricci flow is trivial. We also consider the global behavior of the Type III warping product Ricci flow.

In this article we prove an $\epsilon$-regularity theorem for non-collapsed Ricci flows, and use this to prove new estimates for singularity models of Fano K\"ahler-Ricci flows. In the course of our proof, we find a criterion for uniform…

In this paper, we study $\kappa$-noncollapsed ancient solutions to the Ricci flow with nonnegative curvature operator in higher dimensions. We impose one further assumption: one of the asymptotic shrinking gradient Ricci solitons is the…

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…
