We study the Ricci flow for initial metrics which are C^0 small perturbations of the Euclidean metric on R^n. In the case that this metric is asymptotically Euclidean, we show that a Ricci harmonic map heat flow exists for all times, and…
In this paper, we study the change of the ADM mass of an ALE space along the Ricci flow. Thus we first show that the ALE property is preserved under the Ricci flow. Then, we show that the mass is invariant under the flow in dimension three…
We consider Riemannian manifolds $(M^n,g_0)$, $(M^n,h)$, where $(M^n,h)$ is smooth, complete, with curvature bounded in absolute value by $K_0 < \infty$, and $(1-\varepsilon_0(n)) h \leq g_0 \leq (1+\varepsilon_0(n)) h$ for some small…
We prove that the Ricci flow for complete metrics with bounded geometry depends continuously on initial conditions for finite time with no loss of regularity. This relies on our recent work where sectoriality for the generator of the…
We prove directly without using a density theorem that (i) the ADM mass defined in the usual way on an asymptotically flat manifold is equal to the mass defined intrinsically using Ricci tensor; (ii) the Hamiltonian formulation of center of…
We consider the evolution of the asymptotically hyperbolic mass under the curvature-normalized Ricci flow of asymptotically hyperbolic, conformally compactifiable manifolds. In contrast to asymptotically flat manifolds, for which ADM mass…
We show that any $L^\infty$ Riemannian metric $g$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ that is smooth with nonnegative scalar curvature away from a singular set of finite $(n-\alpha)$-dimensional Minkowski content, for some $\alpha>2$, admits an approximation…
Based on the framework of Koch-Lamm and tensor heat kernel estimates, we obtain a uniform proof of the short-time existence, uniqueness, and continuous dependence for Ricci flows starting from a complete Riemannian metric with bounded…
We define a mass function on asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds with continuous metrics via the normalized Ricci DeTurck flow. This definition coincides with the classical mass for smooth metrics. We also introduce the scalar curvature…
We study Ricci flows on $R^n$, $n\ge 3$, that evolve from asymptotically flat initial data. Under mild conditions on the initial data, we show that the flow exists and remains asymptotically flat for an interval of time. The mass is…
The geometry of a ball within a Riemannian manifold is coarsely controlled if it has a lower bound on its Ricci curvature and a positive lower bound on its volume. We prove that such coarse local geometric control must persist for a…
With respect to any special boundary defining function, a conformally compact asymptotically hyperbolic metric has an asymptotic expansion near its conformal infinity. If this expansion is even to a certain order and satisfies one extra…
We study the positive mass theorem for certain non-smooth metrics following P. Miao's work. Our approach is to smooth the metric using the Ricci flow. As well as improving some previous results on the behaviour of the ADM mass under the…
In this paper it is proven that the volume entropy of a riemannian metric evolving by the Ricci flow, if does not collapse, nondecreases. Therefore, it provides a sufficient condition for a solution to collapse. Then, for the limit…
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…
We study the Ricci flow of initial metrics which are C^0-perturbations of the hyperbolic metric on H^n. If the perturbation is bounded in the L^2-sense, and small enough in the C^0-sense, then we show the following: In dimensions four and…
The Ricci flow is a heat equation for metrics, which has recently been used to study the topology of closed three manifolds. In this paper we apply Ricci flow techniques to general relativity. We view a three dimensional asymptotically flat…
In this paper we prove local existence of a Ricci de Turck flow starting at a space with incomplete edge singularities and flowing for a short time within a class of incomplete edge manifolds. We derive regularity properties for the…
We show for a non homogeneous boundary value problem for the Ricci flow on the disk that when the initial metric has positive curvature and the boundary is convex then the initial metric is deformed, via the normalized flow and along…
In this note, we prove a uniform distance distortion estimate for Ricci flows with uniformly bounded scalar curvature, independent of the lower bound of the initial $\mu$-entropy. Our basic principle tells that once correctly renormalized,…
