Motivated by the problem of finding constant scalar curvature K\"ahler metrics, we investigate a Ricci iteration sequence of Rubinstein that discretizes the pseudo-Calabi flow. While the long time existence of the flow is still an open…

In this paper, we study the backward Ricci flow on locally homogeneous 3-manifolds. We describe the long time behavior and show that, typically and after a proper re-scaling, there is convergence to a sub-Riemannian geometry. A similar…

Although the Poincare' and the geometrization conjectures were recently proved by Perelman, the proof relies heavily on properties of the Ricci flow previously investigated in great detail by Hamilton. Physical realization of such a flow…
