In Riemannian geometry, the Ricci flow is the analogue of heat diffusion; a deformation of the metric tensor driven by its Ricci curvature. As a step towards resolving the problem of time in quantum gravity, we attempt to merge the Ricci…

We consider a normalization of the Ricci flow on a closed Riemannian manifold given by the evolution equation $\partial_{t}g(t)=-2(Ric(g(t))-\frac{1}{2\tau}g(t))$ where $\tau$ is a fixed positive number. Assuming that a solution for this…

For an ancient Ricci flow asymptotic to a compact integrable shrinker, or a Ricci flow developing a finite-time singularity modelled on the shrinker, we establish the long-time existence of a harmonic map heat flow between the Ricci flow…

In this paper we prove a new matrix Li-Yau-Hamilton estimate for K\"ahler-Ricci flow. The form of this new Li-Yau-Hamilton estimate is obtained by the interpolation consideration originated in \cite{Ch1}. This new inequality is shown to be…

Suppose $G$ is a compact Lie group, $H$ is a closed subgroup of $G$, and the homogeneous space $G/H$ is connected. The paper investigates the Ricci flow on a manifold $M$ diffeomorphic to $[0,1]\times G/H$. First, we prove a short-time…
