We find an obstruction to the existence of non-singular solutions to the normalized Ricci flow on four-manifolds with $b^+=1$. By using this obstruction, we study the relationship between the existence or non-existence of non-singular…
We investigate the properties of the combinatorial Ricci flow for surfaces, both forward and backward -- existence, uniqueness and singularities formation. We show that the positive results that exist for the smooth Ricci flow also hold for…
In this paper we establish stability of the Ricci de Turck flow near Ricci-flat metrics with isolated conical singularities. More precisely, we construct a Ricci de Turck flow which starts sufficiently close to a Ricci-flat metric with…
The main result of this paper shows that, if $g(t)$ is a complete non-singular solution of the normalized Ricci flow on a noncompact 4-manifold $M$ of finite volume, then the Euler characteristic number $\chi(M)\geq0$. Moreover,…
We consider the Ricci flow equation for invariant metrics on compact and connected homogeneous spaces whose isotropy representation decomposes into two irreducible inequivalent summands. By studying the corresponding dynamical system, we…
We study some asymptotic behavior of the first nonzero eigenvalue of the Lalacian along the normalized Ricci flow and give a direct short proof for an asymptotic upper limit estimate.
By applying the theory of group-invariant solutions we investigate the symmetries of Ricci flow and hyperbolic geometric flow both on Riemann surfaces. The warped products on $\mathcal {S}^{n+1}$ of both flows are also studied.
In the paper, we study evolution equations of the scalar and Ricci curvatures under the Hamilton's Ricci flow on a closed manifold and on a complete noncompact manifold. In particular, we study conditions when the Ricci flow is trivial and…
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 the present work we find the Lie point symmetries of the Ricci flow on an $n$-dimensional manifold. and we introduce a method in order to reutilize these symmetries to obtain the Lie point symmetries of particular metrics. We apply this…
Based on the compactness of the moduli of non-collapsed Calabi-Yau spaces with mild singularities, we set up a structure theory for polarized K\"ahler Ricci flows with proper geometric bounds. Our theory is a generalization of the structure…
The 2D Ricci flow equation in the conformal gauge is studied using the linearization approach. Using a non-linear substitution of logarithmic type, the emergent quadratic equation is split in various ways. New special solutions involving…
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 have found that the relation between the flow through campylotic (generically curved) media, consisting of randomly located curvature perturbations, and the average Ricci scalar of the system exhibits two distinct functional expressions…
We study the Ricci flow out of spaces with edge type conical singularities along a closed, embedded curve. Under the additional assumption that for each point of the curve, our space is locally modelled on the product of a fixed positively…
We provide a proof that nonholonomically constrained Ricci flows of (pseudo) Riemannian metrics positively result into nonsymmetric metrics (as explicit examples, we consider flows of some physically valuable exact solutions in general…
We develop a theory of Ricci flow for metrics on Courant algebroids which unifies and extends the analytic theory of various geometric flows, yielding a general tool for constructing solutions to supergravity equations. We prove short time…
In earlier work, we derived formal matched asymptotic profiles for families of Ricci flow solutions developing Type-II degenerate neckpinches. In the present work, we prove that there do exist Ricci flow solutions that develop singularities…
Regarding Ricci flow as a dynamical system, we derive sufficient conditions for noncompact stationary (Ricci-flat) solutions to possess infinite-dimensional unstable manifolds, and provide examples satisfying those criteria that have…
We consider smooth complete solutions to Ricci flow with bounded curvature on manifolds without boundary in dimension three. Assuming an open ball at time zero of radius one has curvature bounded from below by -1, then we prove estimates…
