In this paper, we give a sufficient condition such that the Ricci flow in $R^2$ exists globally and the flow converges at $t=\infty$ to the flat metric on $R^2$.
We define two stochastic analogs of a geometric flow on even-dimensional manifolds called $Q$-curvature flow, and use the theory of Dirichlet forms to construct weak solutions to both. The first of these flows, which we call the normalized…

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 RG-2 flow is the two-loop approximation for the world-sheet non-linear sigma model renormalization group flow. The first truncation of the flow is the well known Ricci flow, at two loops higher order curvature terms appear, changing…
By applying the theory of group-invariant solutions we investigate the symmetries of Ricci flow and hyperbolic geometric flow both on Riemann surfaces. The warped products on $\mathcal {S}^{n+1}$ of both flows are also studied.
In this paper we study a boundary value problem for the Ricci flow in the two dimensional ball endowed with a rotationally symmetric metric. We show short and long time existence results. We construct families of metrics for which the flow…
In this paper we prove that given a smoothly conformally compact metric there is a short-time solution to the Ricci flow that remains smoothly conformally compact. We adapt recent results of Schn\"urer, Schulze and Simon to prove a…
The aim of this short note is to produce new examples of geometrical flows associated to a given Riemannian flow $g(t)$. The considered flow in covariant symmetric $2$-tensor fields will be called Ricci-Yamabe map since it involves a scalar…
We study holographic solutions describing RG flows across dimensions from five-dimensional $N=2$ SCFT to SCFTs in three and two dimensions using matter-coupled $F(4)$ gauged supergravity with $ISO(3)\times U(1)$ gauge group. By performing…
We prove that, starting at an initial metric $g(0)=e^{2u_0}(dx^2+dy^2)$ on $\mathbb{R}^2$ with bounded scalar curvature and bounded $u_0$, the Ricci flow $\partial_t g(t)=-R_{g(t)}g(t)$ converges to a flat metric on $\mathbb{R}^2$.
We consider the normalized Ricci flow $\del_t g = (\rho - R)g$ with initial condition a complete metric $g_0$ on an open surface $M$ where $M$ is conformal to a punctured compact Riemann surface and $g_0$ has ends which are asymptotic to…
We describe the Ricci flow on two classes of compact three-dimensional manifolds: 1. Warped products with a circle fiber over a two-dimensional base. 2. Manifolds with a free local isometric U(1) x U(1) action.
Identifying any conformally round metric on the $2$-sphere with a unique cross section on the standard lightcone in the $3+1$-Minkowski spacetime, we gain a new perspective on $2d$-Ricci flow on topological spheres. It turns out that in…
In this paper, we first introduce the weighted forward reduced volume of Ricci flow. The weighted forward reduced volume, which related to expanders of Ricci flow, is well-defined on noncompact manifolds and monotone non-increasing under…
We introduce and study a new general flow of $\mathrm{G}_2$-structures which we call the Ricci-harmonic flow of $\mathrm{G}_2$-structures. The flow is the coupling of the Ricci flow of underlying metrics and the isometric flow of…
