Previously the DeTurck 'trick' has been used to render the stationary Einstein's equation a well posed elliptic system that may be solved numerically by geometric flow or directly. Whilst in the static case for pure gravity with zero or…
With a f-left-invariant Riemannian metric on a Lie group $G$, we mean a Riemannian metric which is conformally equivalent to a left-invariant Riemannian metric, with the conformal factor $f$. In this article, we study the geometry of such…
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…
In this paper, we shall use the K\"ahler geometry formulation to study the global behavior of the Ricci flow on $R^2$. The geometric feature of our Ricci flow is that it has finite width. Our aim is to determine the limiting metric (which…
We show that the system of vacuum Einstein equations (i.e., Ricci-flat metrics) with two hypersurface-orthogonal, commuting Killing vector fields in $d \ge 5$ dimensions is invariant under the action of a one-parameter Lie group, and the…
Linear stability of inviscid, parallel, and stably stratified shear flow is studied under the assumption of smooth strictly monotonic profiles of shear flow and density, so that the local Richardson number is positive everywhere. The…
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 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…
General asymptotic approach to the stability problem of multi-parameter solitons in Hamiltonian systems $i\partial E_n/\partial z=\delta H/\delta E_n^*$ has been developed. It has been shown that asymptotic study of the soliton stability…
The stability of the recently discovered compacton solutions is studied by means of both linear stability analysis as well as Lyapunov stability criteria. From the results obtained it follows that, unlike solitons, all the allowed compacton…
The stability problem in terms of two measures for semiflows in space conv(R^n) was investigated. On the basis of comparison principle the obtained result is used to study the stability criteria for a certain semiflow in space conv(R^n).…
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…
We show that every finite volume hyperbolic manifold of dimension greater or equal to 3 is stable under rescaled Ricci flow, i.e. that every small perturbation of the hyperbolic metric flows back to the hyperbolic metric again. Note that we…
This paper explores the evolution and monotonicity of geometric constants within the framework of extended Ricci flows, incorporating variable coupling parameters. Building on Hamiltons foundational Ricci flow and subsequent extensions by…
We study the Ricci flow for initial metrics which are C^0 small perturbations of the Euclidean metric on R^n. In the case that this metric is asymptotically Euclidean, we show that a Ricci harmonic map heat flow exists for all times, and…
We prove the linear stability with respect to the Einstein-Hilbert action of the symmetric spaces $\mathrm{SU}(n)$, $n\geq3$, and $E_6/F_4$. Combined with earlier results, this resolves the stability problem for irreducible symmetric spaces…
In this article we study the stability problem for the Einstein metrics on Sasaki Einstein and on complete nearly parallel ${\rm G}_2$ manifolds. In the Sasaki case we show linear instability if the second Betti number is positive.…
We show that for any solvable Lie group of real type, any homogeneous Ricci flow solution converges in Cheeger-Gromov topology to a unique non-flat solvsoliton, which is independent of the initial left-invariant metric. As an application,…
This is a short note proving that K\"ahler-Ricci solitons with $\dim H^{(1,1)}(M)\ge 2$ are linearly unstable. This extends the results of Cao-Hamilton-Ilmanen in the K\"ahler-Einstein case.
We prove the existence of a one-parameter family of pairwise non-isometric, complete, positively curved, steady generalized Ricci solitons of gradient type on $\mathbb{R}^3$ that are invariant under the natural cohomogeneity one action of…
