We study the Ricci flow of initial metrics which are C^0-perturbations of the hyperbolic metric on H^n. If the perturbation is bounded in the L^2-sense, and small enough in the C^0-sense, then we show the following: In dimensions four and…

In this paper, we shall use the K\"ahler geometry formulation to study the global behavior of the Ricci flow on $R^2$. The geometric feature of our Ricci flow is that it has finite width. Our aim is to determine the limiting metric (which…
We define two conformal structures on $S^1$ which give rise to a different view of the affine curvature flow and a new curvature flow, the ``$Q$-curvature flow". The steady state of these flows are studied. More specifically, we prove four…
We consider a general curvature equation $F(\kappa)=G(X,\nu(X))$, where $\kappa$ is the principal curvature of the hypersurface $M$ with position vector $X$. It includes the classical prescribed curvature measures problem and area measures…
This paper studies the normalized Ricci flow from a slight perturbation of the hyperbolic metric on $\mathbb H^n$. It's proved that if the perturbation is small and decays sufficiently fast at the infinity, then the flow will converge…
We prove a general existence result for instantaneously complete Ricci flows starting at an arbitrary Riemannian surface which may be incomplete and may have unbounded curvature. We give an explicit formula for the maximal existence time,…
We show that there exists a suitable neighborhood of a constant curvature hyperbolic metric such that, for all initial data in this neighborhood, the corresponding solution to a normalized cross curvature flow exists for all time and…
In this paper, we introduce a new combinatorial curvature on triangulated surfaces with inversive distance circle packing metrics. Then we prove that this combinatorial curvature has global rigidity. To study the Yamabe problem of the new…
On a hyperbolic 3-manifold of finite volume, we prove that if the initial metric is sufficiently close to the hyperbolic metric $h_0$, then the normalized Ricci-DeTurck flow exists for all time and converges exponentially fast to $h_0$ in a…
We introduce a new class of discrete conformal structures on surfaces with boundary, which have nice interpolations in 3-dimensional hyperbolic geometry. Then we prove the global rigidity of the new discrete conformal structures using…
In this paper we study a boundary value problem for the Ricci flow in the two dimensional ball endowed with a rotationally symmetric metric. We show short and long time existence results. We construct families of metrics for which the flow…
We study the global existence and regularity of solutions for a system describing the evolution of a nematic liquid crystal fluid. The fluid is described by a system that couples a forced Navier-Stokes system with a parabolic-type system.…
In this short note, we show that the negative curvature is preserved in the deformation of hyperbolic warped product metrics under Ricci flow. It is also showed that the flow converges to a flat metric as time going to infinity.
In Riemannian geometry, the Ricci flow is the analogue of heat diffusion; a deformation of the metric tensor driven by its Ricci curvature. As a step towards resolving the problem of time in quantum gravity, we attempt to merge the Ricci…
We obtain an improved pseudolocality result for Ricci flows on two-dimensional surfaces that are initially almost-hyperbolic on large hyperbolic balls. We prove that, at the central point of the hyperbolic ball, the Gauss curvature remains…
In this paper, we study the (normalized) Ricci flow on surfaces with conical singularities. Long time existence is proved for cone angle smaller than $2\pi$. In this case, convergence results are obtained if the Euler number is nonpositive.
In this paper, we continue to study the generalized Ricci flow. We give a criterion on steady gradient Ricci soliton on complete and noncompact Riemannian manifolds that is Ricci-flat, and then introduce a natural flow whose stable points…
