In this paper, we prove the Hamilton-Tian conjecture for K\"ahler-Ricci flow based on a recent work of Liu-Sz\'ekelyhidi on Tian's partical $C^0$-estimate for poralized K\"ahler metrics with Ricci bounded below. The Yau-Tian-Donaldson…
We study applications of spectral positivity and the averaged null energy condition (ANEC) to renormalization group (RG) flows in two-dimensional quantum field theory. We find a succinct new proof of the Zamolodchikov $c$-theorem, and…
The fixed points of the generalized Ricci flow are the Bismut Ricci flat metrics, i.e., a generalized metric $(g,H)$ on a manifold $M$, where $g$ is a Riemannian metric and $H$ a closed $3$-form, such that $H$ is $g$-harmonic and…
The aim of this paper is to give a proof the Frankel conjecture by using the Kahler Ricci flow alone without assuming apriori the existence of Kahler Einstein metrics. However, there is an essential difference between the real case and the…
Let $W$ be a manifold with boundary $M$ given together with a conformal class $\bar C$ which restricts to a conformal class $C$ on $M$. Then the relative Yamabe constant $Y_{\bar C}(W,M;C)$ is well-defined. We study the short-time behavior…
The Fried conjecture states that the Ruelle dynamical $\zeta$-function of a flow on a compact maniofold has a well-defined value at $0$, whose absolute value equals the Ray-Singer analytic torsion invariant. The first author and…
This is a continuation of the research in [16]. Let $(\overline{M},g_{-1})$ be a closed geodesic $r_0$-ball in the hyperbolic space $(\mathbb{H}^n,g_{-1})$. Let $m\neq1$ be a positive constant. In this paper, we show that for $n\geq3$,…
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)…
We give a formula for the Lipschitz constant in Thompson's part metric of any order-preserving flow on the interior of a (possibly infinite dimensional) closed convex pointed cone. This provides an explicit form of a characterization of…
Let $(M^3,g_0)$ be a complete noncompact Riemannian 3-manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature and with injectivity radius bounded away from zero. Suppose that the scalar curvature $R(x)\to 0$ as $x\to \infty$. Then the Ricci flow with…
This paper has been withdrawn by the author for further modification.
This article is a sequel to the book `Ricci Flow and the Poincare Conjecture' by the same authors. Using the main results of that book we establish the Geometrization Conjecture for all compact, orientable three-manifolds following the…
In dimension $n=3$, there is a complete theory of weak solutions of Ricci flow - the singular Ricci flows introduced by Kleiner and Lott - which are unique across singularities, as was proved by Bamler and Kleiner. We show that uniqueness…
The main purpose of this note is to construct two functionals of the positive solutions to the conjugate heat equation associated to the metrics evolving by the conformal Ricci flow on closed manifolds. We show that they are nondecreasing…
Given $\Bbb R^2, $ with a ``good'' complete metric, we show that the unique solution of the Ricci flow approaches a soliton at time infinity. Solitons are solutions of the Ricci flow, which move only by diffeomorphism. The Ricci flow on…
In this note, we prove that there exists a constant $\epsilon >0$, depending only on the dimension, such that if a complete solution to the Ricci flow splits as a product at time $t=0$ and has curvature bounded by $\frac{\epsilon}{t}$, then…
We show that a simply-connected closed four-dimensional Ricci flow whose Ricci curvature is uniformly bounded below and whose volume does not approach zero must converge to a $C^{0}$ orbifold at any finite-time singularity, so has an…
A question about Ricci flow is when the diameters of the manifold under the evolving metrics stay finite and bounded away from 0. Topping \cite{T:1} addresses the question with an upper bound that depends on the $L^{(n-1)/2}$ bound of the…
We first prove a uniform integral Laplace comparison result for the K\"ahler Ricci flow on Fano manifolds which depends only on the initial metric. As an application, using Cheeger-Colding theory and previous results by some of the authors,…
In this paper we introduce the log entropy functional and establish its monotonicity along the Ricci flow. One consequence of it is the monotonicity of the logarithmic Sobolev constant along the Ricci flow.
