We extend some results known for the K\"ahler-Ricci flow to the Chern-Ricci flow regarding the independence of singularity types for long-time solutions. Specifically, we show that if a solution to the Chern-Ricci flow exists with uniformly…

We show that any manifold admitting a non-collapsed, ancient Ricci flow must have finite fundamental group. This generalizes what was known for $\kappa$-solutions in dimensions 2, 3. We furthermore show that this fundamental group must be a…

In this paper, we extend the results of \cite{fang2025strong, fang2025singular} to generalized cylinders. More precisely, we establish a Lojasiewicz inequality for the pointed $\mathcal{W}$-entropy in Ricci flow under the assumption that…

For each $n\ge 3$, we construct a 'pancake-like', $O(2)\times O(n-1)$-invariant ancient Ricci flow with positive curvature operator and bounded "girth", and we determine its asymptotic limits backwards in time. This solution is new even in…

In this paper we study the Ricci flow on surfaces homeomorphic to a cylinder (that is, a product of the circle with a compact interval). We prove longtime existence results, results on the asymptotic behavior of the flow, and we report on…

We present a notion of super Ricci flow for time-dependent finite weighted graphs. A challenging feature is that these flows typically encounter singularities where the underlying graph structure changes. Our notion is robust enough to…

In stark contrast to lower dimensions, we produce a plethora of ancient and immortal Ricci flows in real dimension $4$ with Einstein orbifolds as tangent flows at infinity. For instance, for any $k\in\mathbb{N}_0$, we obtain continuous…

We consider the Kaehler-Ricci flow on complete finite-volume metrics that live on the complement of a divisor in a compact Kaehler manifold X. Assuming certain spatial asymptotics on the initial metric, we compute the singularity time in…

This paper studies the Ricci flow on closed manifolds admitting harmonic spinors. It is shown that Perelman's Ricci flow entropy can be expressed in terms of the energy of harmonic spinors in all dimensions, and in four dimensions, in terms…

In dimension $n=3$, there is a complete theory of weak solutions of Ricci flow - the singular Ricci flows introduced by Kleiner and Lott - which are unique across singularities, as was proved by Bamler and Kleiner. We show that uniqueness…

In this paper, we establish the existence and uniqueness of Ricci flow that admits an embedded closed convex surface in $\mathbb{R}^3$ as metric initial condition. The main point is a family of smooth Ricci flows starting from smooth convex…

I survey some of the developments in the theory of Ricci flow and its applications from the past decade. I focus mainly on the understanding of Ricci flows that are permitted to have unbounded curvature in the sense that the curvature can…

This paper studies the normalized Ricci flow on surfaces with conical singularities. It's proved that the normalized Ricci flow has a solution for a short time for initial metrics with conical singularities. Moreover, the solution makes…

In this paper, we derive some local a priori estimates for Ricci flow. This gives rise to some strong uniqueness theorems. As a corollary, let $g(t)$ be a smooth complete solution to the Ricci flow on $\mathbb{R}^{3}$, with the canonical…

We show that a rescale limit at any degenerate singularity of Ricci flow in dimension 3 is a steady gradient soliton. In particular, we give a geometric description of type I and type II singularities.

We analyse Ricci flow (normalised/un-normalised) of product manifolds --unwarped as well as warped, through a study of generic examples. First, we investigate such flows for the unwarped scenario with manifolds of the type $\mathbb…

We investigate the properties of the combinatorial Ricci flow for surfaces, both forward and backward -- existence, uniqueness and singularities formation. We show that the positive results that exist for the smooth Ricci flow also hold for…

We study the four dimensional Ricci flow with the help of local invariants. If $(M^4, g(t))$ is a solution to the Ricci flow and $x \in M^4$, we can associate to the point $x$ a one-parameter family of curves, which lie in the product of…

In this paper, we prove that an ancient smooth curve shortening flow with finite-entropy embedded in $\mathbb{R}^2$ has a unique tangent flow at infinity. To this end, we show that its rescaled flows backwardly converge to a line with…
