In this work, we use the Ricci flow approach to study the gap phenomenon of Riemannian manifolds with non-negative curvature and sub-critical scaling invariant curvature decay. The first main result is a quantitative Ricci flow existence…

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…

It is well-known that the Einstein condition on warpedgeometries requires the fibres to be necessarily Einstein. However, exact warped solutions have often been obtained using one- and two-dimensional bases. In this paper, keeping the…

We prove that the number of complex invariant Einstein metrics on the flag manifold $M_{n_1,n_2,n_3}=SO_{2(n_1+n_2+n_3)+1}/U_{n_1} \times U_{n_2} \times SO_{2n_3+1}$ is equal to 132, except when the parameters $n_1, n_2, n_3$ satisfy one of…

We prove the existence of three non-round, non-isometric Einstein metrics with positive scalar curvature on the sphere $S^{10}.$ Previously, the only even-dimensional spheres known to admit non-round Einstein metrics were $S^6$ and $S^8.$

This is the second paper in a series of works devoted to nonholonomic Ricci flows. By imposing non-integrable (nonholonomic) constraints on the Ricci flows of Riemannian metrics we can model mutual transforms of generalized Finsler-Lagrange…

A generalized metric on a manifold $M$, i.e., a pair $(g,H)$, where $g$ is a Riemannian metric and $H$ a closed $3$-form, is a fixed point of the generalized Ricci flow if and only if $(g,H)$ is Bismut Ricci flat: $H$ is $g$-harmonic and…
