We establish effective existence and uniqueness for the heat flow on time-dependent Riemannian manifolds, under minimal assumptions tailored towards the study of Ricci flow through singularities. The main point is that our estimates only…

Let $(M^n,g)$ $(n\ge 4)$ be a complete noncompact $\kappa$-noncollapsed steady Ricci soliton with $\rm{Rm}\geq 0$ and $\rm{Ric}> 0$ away from a compact set $K$ of $M$. We prove that there is no any $(n-1)$-dimensional compact split limit…

We show some computations related to the motion by mean curvature flow of a submanifold inside an ambient Riemannian manifold evolving by Ricci or backward Ricci flow. Special emphasis is given to the possible generalization of Huisken's…

We develop a theory of Ricci flow for metrics on Courant algebroids which unifies and extends the analytic theory of various geometric flows, yielding a general tool for constructing solutions to supergravity equations. We prove short time…

Following work of Ecker, we consider a weighted Gibbons-Hawking-York functional on a Riemannian manifold-with-boundary. We compute its variational properties and its time derivative under Perelman's modified Ricci flow. The answer has a…

The Ricci flow has been of fundamental importance in mathematics, most famously though its use as a tool for proving the Poincar\'e Conjecture and Thurston's Geometrization Conjecture. It has a parallel life in physics, arising as the first…

We discuss some classification results for Ricci solitons, that is, self similar solutions of the Ricci Flow. Some simple proofs of known results will be presented. In detail, we will take the equation point of view, trying to avoid the…

Giving explicit parametrizations of discrete constant Gaussian curvature surfaces of revolution that are defined from an integrable systems approach, we study Ricci flow for discrete surfaces, and see how discrete surfaces of revolution…

Motivated by the Hamilton's Ricci flow, we define the homogeneous flow of a parallelizable manifold and show the long time existence and uniqueness of its solutions on $[0,\infty).$ Using this flow, we outline a simple proof of the Poincare…

Suppose $(M^i_t)_{t\in [0,T)}$, $i=1,2$, are two mean curvature flows in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ encountering a multiplicity one compact singularity at time $T$, in such a manner that for every $k$, the Hausdorff distance between the two flows,…

We prove that a Ricci flow cannot develop a finite time singularity assuming the boundedness of a suitable space-time integral norm of the curvature tensor. Moreover, the extensibility of the flow is proved under a Ricci lower bound and the…

We use a first-order energy quantity to prove a strengthened statement of uniqueness for the Ricci flow. One consequence of this statement is that if a complete solution on a noncompact manifold has uniformly bounded Ricci curvature, then…
