We prove the existence of Ricci flow starting from a class of metrics with unbounded curvature, which are doubly-warped products over an interval with a spherical factor pinched off at an end. These provide a forward evolution from some…

We give a geometric interpretation of the linear trace Harnack inequality for the Ricci flow.

We explore the harmonic-Ricci flow---that is, Ricci flow coupled with harmonic map flow---both as it arises naturally in certain principal bundle constructions related to Ricci flow and as a geometric flow in its own right. We demonstrate…

We give several Bishop-Gromov relative volume comparisons with integral Ricci curvature which improve the results in \cite{PW1}. Using one of these volume comparisons, we derive an estimate for the volume entropy in terms of integral Ricci…

We prove a so called $\kappa$ non-inflating property for Ricci flow, which provides an upper bound for volume ratio of geodesic balls over Euclidean ones, under an upper bound for scalar curvature. This result can be regarded as the…

We study the behavior of a three-dimensional dynamical system with respect to some set $S$ given in 3-dimensional euclidian space. Geometrically such a system arises from the normalized Ricci flow on some class of generalized Wallach spaces…
