We study the Ricci flow for initial metrics which are C^0 small perturbations of the Euclidean metric on R^n. In the case that this metric is asymptotically Euclidean, we show that a Ricci harmonic map heat flow exists for all times, and…

A one-parameter family of coupled flows depending on a parameter $\kappa>0$ is introduced which reduces when $\kappa=1$ to the coupled flow of a metric $\omega$ with a $(1,1)$-form $\alpha$ due recently to Y. Li, Y. Yuan, and Y. Zhang. It…
