We establish the short-time existence of the Ricci flow on surfaces with a finite number of conic points, all with cone angle between 0 and $2\pi$, where the cone angles remain fixed or change in some smooth prescribed way. For the…
In this thesis we give a review on Ricci flow, an overview on Poincare conjecture, maximum principle, Li-Yau-Perelman estimate, Two functional F and W of Perelman, Reduced volume and reduced length and k-non collapsing estimate
In the third part of this series of papers, we establish several topological results that will become important for studying the long-time behavior of Ricci flows with surgery. In the first part of this paper we recall some elementary…
We introduce the notions of `super-Ricci flows' and `Ricci flows' for time-dependent families of metric measure spaces $(X,d_t,m_t)_{t\in I}$. The former property is proven to be stable under suitable space-time versions of mGH-convergence.…
Recent years have seen much development in analyzing the structure of relativistic hydrodynamics. In this proceeding, some of the developments are highlighted including issues related to pseudo-gauge transformations and spin hydrodynamics.
In this paper we study the global behavior of the Ricci flow equation for two classes of homogeneous manifolds with two isotropy summands. Using methods of the qualitative theory of differential equations, we present the global phase…
Motivated by the recent work of Lamm and Simon, in this work we study the short-time existence theory of Ricci-Deturck flow starting from rough metrics which are bi-Lipschitz and have small local scaling invariant gradient concentration. As…
We review recent progress in applying relativistic hydrodynamics to the modeling of heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and LHC, with emphasis on anisotropic flow and flow fluctuations.
The best known finite-time local Ricci flow singularity is the neckpinch, in which a proper subset of the manifold becomes geometrically close to a portion of a shrinking cylinder. In this paper, we prove precise asymptotics for…
We give an overview of publications on partial actions and related concepts, paying main attention to some recent developments.
This is the fourth and last part of a series of papers on the long-time behavior of 3 dimensional Ricci flows with surgery. In this paper, we prove our main two results. The first result states that if the surgeries are performed correctly,…
We develop a perturbative formulation of the Ricci flow in gravity. Following steps analogous to the gradient flow in QCD, we supplement the usual Feynman rules for perturbative gravity by flowed propagators and vertices as well as graviton…
In the present work we find the Lie point symmetries of the Ricci flow on an $n$-dimensional manifold. and we introduce a method in order to reutilize these symmetries to obtain the Lie point symmetries of particular metrics. We apply this…
Discrete forms of the scalar, sectional and Ricci curvatures are constructed on simplicial piecewise flat triangulations of smooth manifolds, depending directly on the simplicial structure and a choice of dual tessellation. This is done by…
We introduce the notion of Canonical Expanding Ricci Soliton, and use it to derive new Harnack inequalities for Ricci flow. This viewpoint also gives geometric insight into the existing Harnack inequalities of Hamilton and Brendle.
Ricci flow deformation of cosmological initial data sets in general relativity is a technique for generating families of initial data sets which potentially would allow to interpolate between distinct spacetimes. This idea has been around…
The present paper is devoted to the study a global aspect of the geometry of harmonic mappings and, in particular, infinitesimal harmonic transformations, and represents the application of our results to the theory of Ricci solutions and…
I review the current status of lattice QCD results. I concentrate on new analytical developments and on numerical results relevant to phenomenology.
This is a technical paper, which is a continuation of math.DG/0211159. Here we construct Ricci flow with surgeries and verify most of the assertions, made in section 13 of that e-print; the exceptions are (1) the statement that manifolds…
Using a size condition of the sharp log Sobolev functional (log entropy) near infinity only, we prove a rigidity result for ancient Ricci flows without sign condition on the curvatures. The result is also related to the problem of…
