Recently, we have studied evolution of a family of Finsler metrics along Finsler Ricci flow and proved its convergence in short time. Here, existence of solutions to the so called Hamilton Ricci flow on Finsler spaces is studied and a short…

We discuss a natural form of Ricci--flow conjugation between two distinct general relativistic data sets given on a compact $n\geq 3$-dimensional manifold $\Sigma$. We establish the existence of the relevant entropy functionals for the…

We introduce a variation of the classical Ricci flow equation that modifies the unit volume constraint of that equation to a scalar curvature constraint. The resulting equations are named the Conformal Ricci Flow Equations because of the…

Ricci flow deforms the Riemannian metric proportionally to the curvature, such that the curvature evolves according to a heat diffusion process and eventually becomes constant everywhere. Ricci flow has demonstrated its great potential by…

In this paper we prove convergence and compactness results for Ricci flows with bounded scalar curvature and entropy. More specifically, we show that Ricci flows with bounded scalar curvature converge smoothly away from a singular set of…

We study the Ricci flow for the Lorentzian Einstein-Hilbert action. We show that Einstein gravity emerges as a fixed point of the Einstein-Ricci flow equations and derive a renormalization group flow in Euclidean signature. By considering…

We prove sharp lower bounds for eigenvalues of the drift Laplacian for a modified Ricci flow. The modified Ricci flow is a system of coupled equations for a metric and weighted volume that plays an important role in Ricci flow. We will also…

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 study the backward Ricci flow on locally homogeneous 3-manifolds. We describe the long time behavior and show that, typically and after a proper re-scaling, there is convergence to a sub-Riemannian geometry. A similar…

We give an exposition of a formula of Daskalopoulos, Hamilton and Sesum for solutions to the Ricci flow on the 2-sphere. This is one of several estimates used by them to classify ancient solutions on the 2-sphere.
