In this paper we consider compact, Riemannian manifolds $M_1, M_2$ each equipped with a one-parameter family of metrics $g_1(t), g_2(t)$ satisfying the Ricci flow equation. Motivated by a characterization of the super Ricci flow developed…
In this note we clarify that the Rcci flow can be used to give an independent proof of the uniformization theorem of Riemann surfaces.
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 analyze the Ricci flow of a noncompact metric that describes a two-dimensional black hole. We consider entanglement entropy of a 2d black hole which is due to the quantum correlations between two subsystems: one is inside and the other…
This paper attempts to construct monotonic entropy functionals for four-dimensional Lorentzian spacetime under physical boundary conditions, as an extension of Perelman's monotonic entropy functionals constructed for three-dimensional…
I survey some of the developments in the theory of Ricci flow and its applications from the past decade. I focus mainly on the understanding of Ricci flows that are permitted to have unbounded curvature in the sense that the curvature can…
In this work we give a detailed description of Matthias G\"unther's proof of the Isometric Embedding Theorem of Riemannian manifolds. Subsequently we will use this method to show that it is possible to construct an isometric embedding of a…
The Ricci flow is one of the most important topics in differential geometry, and a central focus of modern geometric analysis. In this paper, we give an illustrated introduction to the subject which is intended for a general audience. The…
Ricci flow deformation of cosmological initial data sets in general relativity is a technique for generating families of initial data sets which potentially would allow to interpolate between distinct spacetimes. This idea has been around…
In this survey we provide an overview of our recent results concerning Ricci de Turck flow on spaces with isolated conical singularities. The crucial characteristic of the flow is that it preserves the conical singularity. Under certain…
The Ricci flow is a parabolic evolution equation in the space of Riemannian metrics of a smooth manifold. To some extent, Einstein equations give rise to a similar hyperbolic evolution. The present text is an introductory exposition to…
We construct the classical mechanics associated with a conformally flat Riemannian metric on a compact, n-dimensional manifold without boundary. The corresponding gradient Ricci flow equation turns out to equal the time-dependent…
We prove that, for a two-dimensional Riemannian manifold, the Ricci flow is obtained by a Wiener process.
We study relation of the Ricci Flow on 3-dimensional Lie groups and 4-dimensional Ricci-flat manifolds. In particular, we construct Ricci-flat cohomogeneity one metrics with respect to 3-dimensional Lie groups.
In this note, we describe a new link between Perelman's monotonicity formula for the reduced volume and ideas from optimal transport theory.
We present a monotonic expression for the Ricci flow, valid in all dimensions and without curvature assumptions. It is interpreted as an entropy for a certain canonical ensemble. Several geometric applications are given. In particular, (1)…
For homogeneous metrics on the spaces of the title it is shown that the Ricci flow can move a metric of stricly positive sectional curvature to one with some negative sectional curvature and one of positive definite Ricci tensor to one with…
We present a new relation between the short time behavior of the heat flow, the geometry of optimal transport and the Ricci flow. We also show how this relation can be used to define an evolution of metrics on non-smooth metric measure…
In recent years, there has seen much interest and increased research activities on Perelman's paper. Section one and two of this paper aim to establish Perelman's local non-collapsing result for the Ricci flow. This will provide a positive…
