We study complete noncompact long time solutions $(M, g(t))$ to the K\"ahler-Ricci flow with uniformly bounded nonnegative holomorphic bisectional curvature. We will show that when the Ricci curvature is positive and uniformly pinched, i.e.…

We consider the Ricci flow for simply connected nilmanifolds, which translates to a Ricci flow on the space of nilpotent metric Lie algebras. We consider the evolution of the inner product and the evolution of structure constants, as well…

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…
