We introduce a flow of Riemannian metrics over compact manifolds with formal limit at infinite time a shrinking Ricci soliton. We call this flow the Soliton-Ricci flow. It correspond to a Perelman's modified backward Ricci type flow with…

We introduce a flow of K\"ahler structures over Fano manifolds with formal limit at infinite time a K\"ahler-Ricci soliton. This flow correspond to a Perelman's modified backward K\"ahler-Ricci type flow that we call Soliton-K\"ahler-Ricci…

In this expository note, we study the second variation of Perelman's entropy on the space of Kahler metrics at a K\"ahler-Ricci soliton. We prove that the entropy is stable in the sense of variations. In particular, Perelman's entropy is…

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 consider a closed manifold M with a Riemannian metric g(t) evolving in direction -2S(t) where S(t) is a symmetric two-tensor on (M,g(t)). We prove that if S satisfies a certain tensor inequality, then one can construct a forwards and a…

In this paper, we first show an interpretation of the K\"ahler-Ricci flow on a manifold $X$ as an exact elliptic equation of Einstein type on a manifold $M$ of which $X$ is one of the (K\"ahler) symplectic reductions via a (non-trivial)…

We study a Boltzmann's type entropy functional (which appeared in existing literature) defined on K\"ahler metrics of a fixed K\"ahler class. The critical points of this functional are gradient K\"ahler-Ricci solitons, and the functional…

We introduce the notions of `super-Ricci flows' and `Ricci flows' for time-dependent families of metric measure spaces $(X,d_t,m_t)_{t\in I}$. The former property is proven to be stable under suitable space-time versions of mGH-convergence.…

We introduce a novel curvature flow, the Heterotic-Ricci flow, as the two-loop renormalization group flow of the Heterotic string common sector and study its three-dimensional compact solitons. The Heterotic-Ricci flow is a coupled…

We find the regime of our recently constructed topological nonrelativistic quantum gravity, in which Perelman's Ricci flow equations on Riemannian manifolds appear precisely as the localization equations in the path integral. In this…

Over a compact oriented manifold, the space of Riemannian metrics and normalised positive volume forms admits a natural pseudo-Riemannian metric $G$, which is useful for the study of Perelman's $\mathcal{W}$ functional. We show that if the…

In this paper, we prove that on a Fano manifold $M$ which admits a K\"ahler-Ricci soliton $(\om,X)$, if the initial K\"ahler metric $\om_{\vphi_0}$ is close to $\om$ in some weak sense, then the weak K\"ahler-Ricci flow exists globally and…

We show that Perelman's W-functional can be generalized to Sasaki-Ricci flow. When the basic first Chern class is positive, we prove a uniform bound on the scalar curvature, the diameter and a uniform $C^1$ bound for the transverse Ricci…

In the first part of this short article, we define a renormalized F-functional for perturbations of non-compact steady Ricci solitons. This functional motivates a stability inequality which plays an important role in questions concerning…

This book gives an introduction to fundamental aspects of generalized Riemannian, complex, and K\"ahler geometry. This leads to an extension of the classical Einstein-Hilbert action, which yields natural extensions of Einstein and…

In this paper, we prove that K\"ahler-Ricci flow converges to a K\"ahler-Einstein metric (or a K\"ahler-Ricci soliton) in the sense of Cheeger-Gromov as long as an initial K\"ahler metric is very closed to $g_{KE}$ (or $g_{KS}$) if a…

In this short note we observe that the concavity of Perelman's $\mathcal{W}$-functional over a neighborhood of a K\"ahler-Ricci soliton inside the space of K\"ahler potentials is a direct consequence of author's solution of the variational…

We formulate and solve the existence problem for Ricci flow on a Riemann surface with initial data given by a Radon measure as volume measure. The theory leads us to a large class of new examples of nongradient expanding Ricci solitons,…

The main objective of this thesis is the study of the evolution under the Ricci flow of surfaces with singularities of cone type. A second objective, emerged from the techniques we use, is the study of families of Ricci flow solitons in…

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…
