In this short note, we observe that the Bamler-Kleiner proof of uniqueness and stability for 3-dimensional Ricci flow through singularities generalizes to singular Ricci flows in higher dimensions that satisfy an analogous canonical…

In this paper, we construct a pyramid Ricci flow starting with a complete Riemannian manifold $(M^n,g_0)$ that is PIC1, or more generally satisfies a lower curvature bound $K_{IC_1}\geq -\alpha_0$. That is, instead of constructing a flow on…

Given a completely arbitrary surface, whether or not it has bounded curvature, or even whether or not it is complete, there exists an instantaneously complete Ricci flow evolution of that surface that exists for a specific amount of time…

B Wilking has recently shown that one can associate a Ricci flow invariant cone of curvature operators $C(S)$, which are nonnegative in a suitable sense, to every $Ad_{SO(n,\C)}$ invariant subset $S \subset {\bf so}(n,\C)$. For curvature…

In this note we prove the following result: Let $X$ be a complete, connected 4-manifold with uniformly positive isotropic curvature, with bounded geometry and with no essential incompressible space form. Then $X$ is diffeomorphic to…

We show that every $n$-dimensional, $\kappa$-noncollapsed, noncompact, complete ancient solution to the Ricci flow with uniformly PIC for $n=4$ or $n\ge 12$ has weakly PIC$_2$ and bounded curvature. Combining this with earlier results, we…

A fundamental tool in the analysis of Ricci flow is a compactness result of Hamilton in the spirit of the work of Cheeger, Gromov and others. Roughly speaking it allows one to take a sequence of Ricci flows with uniformly bounded curvature…

In this work, we obtain some existence results of Chern-Ricci Flows and the corresponding Potential Flows on complex manifolds with possibly incomplete initial data. We discuss the behaviour of the solution as $t\rightarrow 0$. These…

In this paper, we investigate curvature pinching phenomena in complete non-compact asymptotically conical gradient expanding Ricci solitons and establish several Hamilton-Ivey type curvature pinching estimates. These results are parallel to…

Lai (2021) used singular Ricci flows, introduced by Kleiner and Lott (2017), to construct a nonnegative Ricci curvature Ricci flow $g(t)$ emerging from an arbitrary 3D complete noncompact Riemannian manifold $(M^3, g_0)$ which has…

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…

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 prove that if an asymptotically Euclidean manifold $(M^n,g)$ under the condition that $R \ge 0$ has long time existence of Ricci flow, the mass of $(M^n,g)$ is nonnegative. In addition, we give an independent proof of…

We construct a rotationally invariant Ricci flow through surgery starting at any closed rotationally invariant Riemannian manifold. We demonstrate that a sequence of such Ricci flows with surgery converges to a Ricci flow spacetime in the…

Let M be a compact n-dimensional manifold, $n\ge 2$, with metric g(t) evolving by the Ricci flow $\partial g_{ij}/\partial t=-2R_{ij}$ in (0,T) for some $T\in\Bbb{R}^+\cup\{\infty\}$ with $g(0)=g_0$. Let $\lambda_0(g_0)$ be the first…

We review the main aspects of Ricci flows as they arise in physics and mathematics. In field theory they describe the renormalization group equations of the target space metric of two dimensional sigma models to lowest order in the…

We review recent results relating linear stability to dynamical stability and the scalar curvature rigidity of Einstein manifolds. We discuss closed and open Einstein manifolds as well as complete noncompact Einstein manifolds which are…

In this paper, we study the Ricci flow of solvmanifolds whose Lie algebra has an abelian ideal of codimension one, by using the bracket flow. We prove that solutions to the Ricci flow are immortal, the omega-limit of bracket flow solutions…

Huisken studied asymptotic behavior of a mean curvature flow in a Euclidean space when it develops a singularity of type I, and proved that its rescaled flow converges to a self-shrinker in the Euclidean space. In this paper, we generalize…
