We discuss some classification results for Ricci solitons, that is, self similar solutions of the Ricci Flow. Some simple proofs of known results will be presented. In detail, we will take the equation point of view, trying to avoid the…

We prove a comparison theorem for the isoperimetric profiles of solutions of the normalized Ricci flow on the two-sphere: If the isoperimetric profile of the initial metric is greater than that of some positively curved axisymmetric metric,…

We construct a rotationally invariant Ricci flow through surgery starting at any closed rotationally invariant Riemannian manifold. We demonstrate that a sequence of such Ricci flows with surgery converges to a Ricci flow spacetime in the…

We consider four extended Ricci flow systems---that is, Ricci flow coupled with other geometric flows---and prove dynamical stability of certain classes of stationary solutions of these flows. The systems include Ricci flow coupled with…

We produce longtime solutions to the K\"ahler-Ricci flow for complete K\"ahler metrics on $\Bbb C ^n$ without assuming the initial metric has bounded curvature, thus extending results in [3]. We prove the existence of a longtime bounded…

For some class of geometric flows, we obtain the (logarithmic) Sobolev inequalities and their equivalence up to different factors directly and also obtain the long time non-collapsing and non-inflated properties, which generalize the…

We will consider a {\it $\tau$-flow}, given by the equation $\frac{d}{dt}g_{ij} = -2R_{ij} + \frac{1}{\tau}g_{ij}$ on a closed manifold $M$, for all times $t\in [0,\infty)$. We will prove that if the curvature operator and the diameter of…

We introduce a notion of Ricci flow in generalized geometry, extending a previous definition by Gualtieri on exact Courant algebroids. Special stationary points of the flow are given by solutions to first-order differential equations, the…
