Using double 2+2 and 3+1 nonholonomic fibrations on Lorentz manifolds, we extend the concept of W-entropy for gravitational fields in the general relativity, GR, theory. Such F- and W-functionals were introduced in the Ricci flow theory of…
We study Ricci flows of some classes of physically valuable solutions in Einstein and string gravity. The anholonomic frame method is applied for generic off-diagonal metric ansatz when the field/ evolution equations are transformed into…
We obtain Schroedinger quantum mechanics from Perelman's functional and from the Ricci flow equations of a conformally flat Riemannian metric on a closed 2-dimensional configuration space. We explore links with the recently discussed…
This paper proposes the Ricci-flow equation from Riemannian geometry as a general geometric framework for various nonlinear reaction-diffusion systems (and related dissipative solitons) in mathematical biology. More precisely, we propose a…
This book gives an introduction to fundamental aspects of generalized Riemannian, complex, and K\"ahler geometry. This leads to an extension of the classical Einstein-Hilbert action, which yields natural extensions of Einstein and…
We present a family of topological quantum gravity theories associated with the geometric theory of the Ricci flow on Riemannian manifolds. First we use BRST quantization to construct a "primitive" topological Lifshitz-type theory for only…
We briefly review our recent results on the geometry of nonholonomic manifolds and Lagrange--Finsler spaces and fractional calculus with Caputo derivatives. Such constructions are used for elaborating analogous models of fractional gravity…
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…
The goal of this paper is to encode equivalently the fractional Lagrange dynamics as a nonholonomic almost Kahler geometry. We use the fractional Caputo derivative generalized for nontrivial nonlinear connections (N-connections) originally…
We review the main aspects of Ricci flows as they arise in physics and mathematics. In field theory they describe the renormalization group equations of the target space metric of two dimensional sigma models to lowest order in the…
Discrete forms of the scalar, sectional and Ricci curvatures are constructed on simplicial piecewise flat triangulations of smooth manifolds, depending directly on the simplicial structure and a choice of dual tessellation. This is done by…
Using a recently developed piecewise flat method, numerical evolutions of the Ricci flow are computed for a number of manifolds, using a number of different mesh types, and shown to converge to the expected smooth behaviour as the mesh…
We show how solutions to a large class of partial differential equations with nonlocal Riccati-type nonlinearities can be generated from the corresponding linearized equations, from arbitrary initial data. It is well known that evolutionary…
We establish a short-time existence theory for complete Ricci flows under scaling-invariant curvature bounds, starting from rotationally symmetric metrics on $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ that are noncollapsed at infinity, without assuming bounded…
In this paper we characterize non-collapsed limits of Ricci flows. We show that such limits are smooth away from a set of codimension $\geq 4$ in the parabolic sense and that the tangent flows at every point are given by gradient shrinking…
In this thesis we give a review on Ricci flow, an overview on Poincare conjecture, maximum principle, Li-Yau-Perelman estimate, Two functional F and W of Perelman, Reduced volume and reduced length and k-non collapsing estimate
We discuss in rather general terms quantum field theories dealing with spaces of maps between Riemannian manifolds. In particular we explore the well--known connection between the renormalization group flow for non--linear sigma models and…
In this paper, we investigate the evolution of certain functionals involving higher powers of a scalar quantity $F$ under Bernard List's extended Ricci flow on a compact Riemannian manifold. By deriving explicit expressions for the time…
In this paper we investigate a kind of generalized Ricci flow which possesses a gradient form. We study the monotonicity of the given function under the generalized Ricci flow and prove that the related system of partial differential…
We find exact solutions describing Ricci flows of four dimensional pp-waves nonlinearly deformed by two/three dimensional solitons. Such solutions are parametrized by five dimensional metrics with generic off-diagonal terms and connections…
