$\mathscr{W}$-entropy and reduced volume for the Ricci flow were introduced by Perelman, which had proved their importance in the study of the Ricci flow. L. Ni studied the analogous concepts for the linear heat equation on the static…
This is a continuation of the research in [16]. Let $(\overline{M},g_{-1})$ be a closed geodesic $r_0$-ball in the hyperbolic space $(\mathbb{H}^n,g_{-1})$. Let $m\neq1$ be a positive constant. In this paper, we show that for $n\geq3$,…

In this paper, we establish Li-Yau-type and Hamilton-type estimates for positive solutions to the heat equation associated with the generalized Ricci flow, under a less stringent curvature condition. Compared with [25] and [35], these…
We derive the entropy formula for the linear heat equaiton on complete Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature. As applications, we study the relation between the value of entropy and the volume of balls of various scales. The…
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.
We study Perelman's W-entropy functional on finite-dimensional RCD spaces, a synthetic generalization of spaces with Bakry-\'{E}mery Ricci curvature bounded from below. We rigorously justify the formula for the time derivative of the…
We discuss from a geometric point of view the connection between the renormalization group flow for non--linear sigma models and the Ricci flow. This offers new perspectives in providing a geometrical landscape for 2D quantum field…
We prove that on compact Alexandrov spaces with curvature bounded below the gradient flow of the Dirichlet energy in the $L^2$-space produces the same evolution as the gradient flow of the relative entropy in the $L^2$-Wasserstein space.…
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…
We consider the normalized Ricci flow evolving from an initial metric which is conformally compactifiable and asymptotically hyperbolic. We show that there is a unique evolving metric which remains in this class, and that the flow exists up…
We study the generalized K\"ahler-Ricci flow with initial data of symplectic type, and show that this condition is preserved. In the case of a Fano background with toric symmetry, we establish global existence of the normalized flow. We…

On doubling metric measure spaces endowed with a strongly local regular Dirichlet form, we show some characterisations of pointwise upper bounds of the heat kernel in terms of global scale-invariant inequalities that correspond respectively…
We use numerical techniques to study the formation of singularities in Ricci flow. Comparing the Ricci flows corresponding to a one parameter family of initial geometries on S^3 with varying amounts of S^2 neck pinching, we find critical…
We establish a general result ensuring a $C^1$ a priori bound for smooth curves of Hermitian metrics. As a main application, we obtain a new regularity result for Hermitian curvature flows, and in particular for the second Chern-Ricci flow.
We develop the differential geometric and geometric analytic studies of Hamiltonian systems. Key ingredients are the curvature operator, the weighted Laplacian, and the associated Riccati equation. We prove the appropriate generalizations…
Sets related to positively curved invariant Riemannian metrics on generalized Wallach spaces are considered. The problem arises in studying of the evolution of such metrics under the normalized Ricci flow equation. For Riemannian metrics of…
