We show the existence of a solution to the Ricci flow with a compact length space of bounded curvature, i.e., a space that has curvature bounded above and below in the sense of Alexandrov, as its initial condition. We show that this flow…

We study $n$-dimensional Ricci flows with non-negative Ricci curvature where the curvature is pointwise controlled by the scalar curvature and bounded by $C/t$, starting at metric cones which are Reifenberg outside the tip. We show that any…

Let $(M^n,g_0)$ ($n$ odd) be a compact Riemannian manifold with $\lambda(g_0)>0$, where $\lambda(g_0)$ is the first eigenvalue of the operator $-4\Delta_{g_0}+R(g_0)$, and $R(g_0)$ is the scalar curvature of $(M^n,g_0)$. Assume the maximal…

In 2011 Enders, M\"{u}ller and Topping showed that any blow up sequence of a Type I Ricci flow near a singular point converges to a non-trivial gradient Ricci soliton, leading them to conclude that for such flows all reasonable definitions…

In this paper, we prove that the first eigenvalues of $-\Delta + cR$ ($c\geq \frac14$) is nondecreasing under the Ricci flow. We also prove the monotonicity under the normalized flow for the case $c=1/4$, and $r\le 0$.

We generalize most of the known Ricci flow invariant non-negative curvature conditions to less restrictive negative bounds that remain sufficiently controlled for a short time. As an illustration of the contents of the paper, we prove that…

Expository observation on the $\mu$-invariant of singularity models for Ricci Flow.

We give a global picture of the Ricci flow on the space of three-dimensional, unimodular, nonabelian metric Lie algebras considered up to isometry and scaling. The Ricci flow is viewed as a two-dimensional dynamical system for the evolution…

For any flag manifold $M=G/K$ of a compact simple Lie group $G$ we describe non-collapsing ancient invariant solutions of the homogeneous unnormalized Ricci flow. Such solutions emerge from an invariant Einstein metric on $M$, and by…

We demonstrate the irreversibility of a wide class of world-sheet renormalization group (RG) flows to first order in $\alpha'$ in string theory. Our techniques draw on the mathematics of Ricci flows, adapted to asymptotically flat target…

We complement a recent work on the stability of fixed points of the CMC-Einstein-$\Lambda$ flow. In particular, we modify the utilized gauge for the Einstein equations and remove a restriction on the fixed points whose stability we are able…

In \cite{ChauMartens} the authors proved the long-time existence of Ricci flow starting from complete bounded curvature Riemannian manifolds with scale-invariant integral curvature bounded by a dimensional constant times the inverse of the…

In this paper, we continue to study the generalized Ricci flow. We give a criterion on steady gradient Ricci soliton on complete and noncompact Riemannian manifolds that is Ricci-flat, and then introduce a natural flow whose stable points…

We establish a short-time existence theory for complete Ricci flows under scaling-invariant curvature bounds, starting from rotationally symmetric metrics on $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ that are noncollapsed at infinity, without assuming bounded…

We prove long-time existence of the Ricci flow starting from complete manifolds with bounded curvature and scale-invariant integral curvature sufficiently pinched with respect to the inverse of its Sobolev constant. Moreover, if the…

Let $(M,g)$ be a complete, connected, non-compact Riemannian three-manifold with non-negative Ricci curvature satisfying $Ric\geq\varepsilon\,\operatorname{tr}(Ric)\,g$ for some $\varepsilon>0$. In this note, we give a new proof based on…

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…

B List has recently studied a geometric flow whose fixed points correspond to static Ricci flat spacetimes. It is now known that this flow is in fact Ricci flow modulo pullback by a certain diffeomorphism. We use this observation to…

This article is a detailed version of our short letter `On equilibrium partition function for non-relativistic fluid' [arXiv:1505.05677] extended to include an anomalous $U(1)$ symmetry. We construct a relativistic system, which we call…

In the following work, an attempt to conciliate the Ricci flow conjecture and the Cobordism conjecture, stated as refinements of the Swampland distance conjecture and of the No global symmetries conjecture respectively, is presented. This…
