In this paper we study the evolution of almost non-negatively curved (possibly singular) three dimensional metric spaces by Ricci flow. The non-negatively curved metric spaces which we consider arise as limits of smooth Riemannian manifolds…
We prove a curvature pinching result for the Ricci flow on asymptotically flat manifolds: if an asymptotically flat manifold of dimension $n\geq 3$ has scale-invariant integral norm of curvature sufficiently pinched relative to the inverse…
We define the Ricci curvature, as a measure, for certain singular torsion-free connections on the tangent bundle of a manifold. The definition uses an integral formula and vector-valued half-densities. We give relevant examples in which the…
In a singular Type I Ricci flow, we consider a stratification of the set where there is curvature blow-up, according to the number of the Euclidean factors split by the tangent flows. We then show that the strata are characterized roughly…
Let $(M,g)$ be a complete noncompact non-collapsing $n$-dimensional riemannian manifold, whose complex sectional curvature is bounded from below and scalar curvature is bounded from above. Then ricci flow with above as its initial data, has…
We study noncommutative Ricci flow in a finite dimensional representation of a noncommutative torus. It is shown that the flow exists and converges to the flat metric. We also consider the evolution of entropy and a definition of scalar…
Ancient solutions of the Ricci flow arise naturally as models for singularity formation. There has been significant progress towards the classification of such solutions under natural geometric assumptions. Nonnegatively curved solutions in…
We prove compactification theorems for some complete K\"ahler manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature. Among other things, we prove that a complete noncompact K\"ahler Ricci flat manifold with maximal volume growth and quadratic…
We derive estimates relating the values of a solution at any two points to the distance between the points, for quasilinear isotropic elliptic equations on compact Riemannian manifolds, depending only on dimension and a lower bound for the…
We consider Ricci flow of complete Riemannian manifolds which have bounded non-negative curvature operator, non-zero asymptotic volume ratio and no boundary. We prove scale invariant estimates for these solutions. Using these estimates, we…
In this paper we consider $4$-dimensional steady soliton singularity models, i.e., complete steady gradient Ricci solitons that arise as the rescaled limit of a finite time singular solution of the Ricci flow on a closed $4$-manifold. In…
We consider all compatible topologies of an arbitrary finite-dimensional vector space over a non-trivial valuation field whose metric completion is a locally compact space. We construct the canonical lattice isomorphism between the lattice…
In this note we prove that any left-invariant almost Hermitian structure on a 2-step nilmanifold is Ricci-flat with respect to the Chern connection and that it is Ricci-flat with respect to another canonical connection if and only if it is…
In this paper, we study the Ricci flow on a closed manifold and finite time interval $[0,T)~(T < \infty)$ on which certain integral curvature energies are finite. We prove that in dimension four, such flow converges to a smooth Riemannian…
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…
Typical existence result on Ricci-flat metrics is in manifolds of finite geometry, that is, on $F=\bar F-D$ where $\bar F$ is a compact K\"ahler manifold and $D$ is a smooth divisor. We view this existence problem from a different…
We consider Ricci flow on a closed surface with cone points. The main result is: given a (nonsmooth) cone metric g_0 over a closed surface there is a smooth Ricci flow g(t) defined for (0,T], with curvature unbounded above, such that g(t)…
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…
In this paper, we introduce combinatorial Ricci flows (CRFs in short) in Euclidean and hyperbolic background geometries on infinite triangulations of the open disk, which are discrete analogs of Ricci flows on simply connected open…
Understanding the relationships between geometry and topology is a central theme in Riemannian geometry. We establish two results on the fundamental groups of open (complete and noncompact) $n$-manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature and…
