We show that a strict, nearly K\"ahler $6$-manifold with either second or third Betti number nonzero is linearly unstable with respect to the $\nu$-entropy of Perelman and hence is dynamically unstable for the Ricci flow.

We establish the short-time existence of the Ricci flow on surfaces with a finite number of conic points, all with cone angle between 0 and $2\pi$, where the cone angles remain fixed or change in some smooth prescribed way. For the…

Let $P$ be a principal U(1)-bundle over a closed manifold $M$. On $P$, one can define a modified version of the Ricci flow called the Ricci Yang-Mills flow, due to these equations being a coupling of Ricci flow and the Yang-Mills heat flow.…
