In this announcement, we exhibit the second variation of Perelman's $\lambda$ and $\nu$ functionals for the Ricci flow, and investigate the linear stability of examples. We also define the "central density" of a shrinking Ricci soliton and…

We introduce a flow of Riemannian metrics over compact manifolds with formal limit at infinite time a shrinking Ricci soliton. We call this flow the Soliton-Ricci flow. It correspond to a Perelman's modified backward Ricci type flow with…

We prove the uniqueness of solutions of the Ricci flow on complete noncompact manifolds with bounded curvatures using the De Turck approach. As a consequence we obtain a correct proof of the existence of solution of the Ricci harmonic flow…

We study singularity formation of complete Ricci flow solutions, motivated by two applications: (a) improving the understanding of the behavior of the essential blowup sequences of Enders-Muller-Topping on noncompact manifolds, and (b)…

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…

Ricci solitons are natural generalizations of Einstein metrics. They are also special solutions to Hamilton's Ricci flow and play important roles in the singularity study of the Ricci flow. In this paper, we survey some of the recent…

In this paper we have introduced the notion of $*-$ Ricci flow and shown that $*-$ Ricci soliton which was introduced by Kakimakamis and Panagiotid in 2014, is a self similar soliton of the $*-$ Ricci flow. We have also find the deformation…

In Riemannian geometry, Ricci soliton inequalities are an important field of study that provide profound insights into the geometric and analytic characteristics of Riemannian manifolds. An extensive study of Ricci soliton inequalities is…

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…

Identifying any conformally round metric on the $2$-sphere with a unique cross section on the standard lightcone in the $3+1$-Minkowski spacetime, we gain a new perspective on $2d$-Ricci flow on topological spheres. It turns out that in…

If we want to deform a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary using Ricci flow, we first need to decide on appropriate boundary conditions. We would like these conditions to reflect the geometric nature of the flow and allow for a…
