In this work, we study metrics which are both homogeneous and Ricci soliton. If there exists a transitive solvable group of isometries on a Ricci soliton, we show that it is isometric to a solvsoliton. Moreover, unless the manifold is flat,…
In previous work, Angenent, Isenberg, and Knopf created type-II Ricci flow neckpinch singularities. In this paper we construct solutions to Ricci flow whose initial data is the singular metric resulting from these singularities. We show in…
We construct the classical mechanics associated with a conformally flat Riemannian metric on a compact, n-dimensional manifold without boundary. The corresponding gradient Ricci flow equation turns out to equal the time-dependent…
We show the existence of a solution to the Ricci flow with a compact length space of bounded curvature, i.e., a space that has curvature bounded above and below in the sense of Alexandrov, as its initial condition. We show that this flow…
In this article we prove an $\epsilon$-regularity theorem for non-collapsed Ricci flows, and use this to prove new estimates for singularity models of Fano K\"ahler-Ricci flows. In the course of our proof, we find a criterion for uniform…
Given an asymptotically conical, shrinking, gradient Ricci soliton, we show that there exists a Ricci flow solution on a closed manifold that forms a finite-time singularity modeled on the given soliton. No symmetry or Kahler assumptions on…
In this paper, we show that the uniform L^{4}-bound of the transverse Ricci curvature along the Sasaki-Ricci flow on a compact quasi-regular Sasakian (2n+1)-manifold M of general type. As an application, any solution of the normalized…
A result of R. Hamilton asserts that any convex hypersurface in an Euclidian space with pinched second fundamental form must be compact. Partly inspired by this result, twenty years ago, in \cite{Ancient}, Remark 3.1 on page 650, the author…
We consider the problem of deforming a one-parameter family of hypersurfaces immersed into closed Riemannian manifolds with positive curvature operator. The hypersurface in this family satisfies mean curvature flow while the ambient metric…
In this paper, we use the normalized Ricci-DeTurk flow to prove a stability result for strictly stable conformally compact Einstein manifolds. As an application, we show a local volume comparison of conformally compact manifolds with scalar…
We classify Einstein metrics on $\mathbb{R}^4$ invariant under a four-dimensional group of isometries including a principal action of the Heisenberg group. The metrics are either Ricci-flat or of negative Ricci curvature. We show that all…
This paper studies the Ricci flow on closed manifolds admitting harmonic spinors. It is shown that Perelman's Ricci flow entropy can be expressed in terms of the energy of harmonic spinors in all dimensions, and in four dimensions, in terms…
In this paper the authors study the hyperbolic geometric flow on Riemann surfaces. This new nonlinear geometric evolution equation was recently introduced by the first two authors motivated by Einstein equation and Hamilton's Ricci flow. We…
Important models for immortal solutions of Ricci flow that collapse with bounded curvature come from locally G-invariant solutions on principal bundles, where G is a nilpotent Lie group. In this paper, we establish convergence and…
We study solutions to generalized Ricci flow on four-manifolds with a nilpotent, codimension $1$ symmetry. We show that all such flows are immortal, and satisfy type III curvature and diameter estimates. Using a new kind of monotone energy…
We prove an estimate for solutions to the linearized Ricci flow system on closed 3-manifolds. This estimate is a generalization of Hamilton's pinching is preserved estimate for the Ricci curvatures of solutions to the Ricci flow on…
We study the K\"ahler-Ricci flow on compact K\"ahler manifolds whose canonical bundle is big. We show that the normalized K\"ahler-Ricci flow has long time existence in the viscosity sense, is continuous in a Zariski open set, and converges…
In our previous paper math.DG/0010008, we develop some new techniques in attacking the convergence problems for the K\"ahler Ricci flow. The one of main ideas is to find a set of new functionals on curvature tensors such that the Ricci flow…
