We show that a certain entropy-like function is convex, under an optimal transport problem that is adapted to Ricci flow. We use this to reprove the monotonicity of Perelman's reduced volume.
In this note we will adapt Topping's $\mathcal{L}$-optimal transportation theory for Ricci flow to a more general situation, i.e. to a closed manifold $(M,g_{ij}(t))$ evolving by $\partial_tg_{ij}=-2S_{ij}$, where $S_{ij}$ is a symmetric…
We prove results relating the theory of optimal transport and generalized Ricci flow. We define an adapted cost functional for measures using a solution of the associated dilaton flow. This determines a formal notion of geodesics in the…
In this paper, we consider two different monotone quantities defined for the Ricci flow and show that their asymptotic limits coincide for any ancient solutions. One of the quantities we consider here is Perelman's reduced volume, while the…
In this short notes, we discuss monotonicity formulas under various rescaled versions of Ricci flow. The main result is Theorem \ref{theo rescaled}.

Optimal transport plays a major role in the study of manifolds with Ricci curvature bounded below. Some results in this setting have been extended to super Ricci flows, revealing a unified approach to analysis on Ricci nonnegative manifolds…
In this paper we will give a new proof of the monotonicity of Wasserstein distances of two diffusions under super Ricci flow. Our proof is based on the coupling method of B.Andrew and J.Clutterbuck. The same method can also be applied to…
In recent years, there has seen much interest and increased research activities on Perelman's paper. Section one and two of this paper aim to establish Perelman's local non-collapsing result for the Ricci flow. This will provide a positive…
Under a complete Ricci flow, we construct a coupling of two Brownian motion such that their $\mathcal{L}_0$-distance is a supermartingale. This recovers a result of Lott [J. Lott, Optimal transport and Perelman's reduced volume, Calc. Var.…
We derive modified Perelman-type monotonicity formulas for solutions to the generalized Ricci flow equation with symmetry on principal bundles, which lead to rigidity and classification results for nonsingular solutions.
We indicate some formulas connecting Ricci flow and the Perelman entropy functional to Fisher information, differential entropy, and the quantum potential.
To every Ricci flow on a manifold M over a time interval I, we associate a shrinking Ricci soliton on the space-time M x I. We relate properties of the original Ricci flow to properties of the new higher-dimensional Ricci flow equipped with…
In this paper, we define a reduced distance function based at a point at the singular time $T<\infty$ of a Ricci flow. We also show the monotonicity of the corresponding reduced volume based at time T, with equality iff the Ricci flow is a…
These are detailed notes on Perelman's papers "The entropy formula for the Ricci flow and its geometric applications" and "Ricci flow with surgery on three-manifolds".
A fundamental step in the analysis of singularities of Ricci flow was the discovery by Perelman of a monotonic volume quantity which detected shrinking solitons in (arXiv:math/0211159). A similar quantity was found by Feldman, Ilmanen, and…
We prove three new monotonicity formulas for manifolds with a lower Ricci curvature bound and show that they are connected to rate of convergence to tangent cones. In fact, we show that the derivative of each of these three monotone…

In this paper, we show that any ancient solution to the Ricci flow with the reduced volume whose asymptotic limit is sufficiently close to that of the Gaussian soliton is isometric to the Euclidean space for all time. This is a…
