We present new $\Phi$-entropy inequalities for diffusion semigroups under the curvature-dimension criterion. They include the isoperimetric function of the Gaussian measure. Applications to the long time behaviour of solutions to…
It is demonstrated that the probability density function, given by the square of a quantum mechanical wavefunction that is a real-valued eigenvector of a time-independent, one-body Schroedinger equation, satisfies a compressible-flow…
In this article we prove an $\epsilon$-regularity theorem for non-collapsed Ricci flows, and use this to prove new estimates for singularity models of Fano K\"ahler-Ricci flows. In the course of our proof, we find a criterion for uniform…
Smooth metric measure spaces have been studied from the two different perspectives of Bakry-\'Emery and Chang-Gursky-Yang, both of which are closely related to work of Perelman on the Ricci flow. These perspectives include a generalization…
We present a new curvature condition which is preserved by the Ricci flow in higher dimensions. For initial metrics satisfying this condition, we establish a higher dimensional version of Hamilton's neck-like curvature pinching estimate.…
We obtain a compactness result for Fano manifolds and K\"ahler Ricci flows. Comparing to the more general Riemannian versions by Anderson and Hamilton, in this Fano case, the curvature assumption is much weaker and is preserved by the…
A class of linear kinetic Fokker-Planck equations with a non-trivial diffusion matrix and with periodic boundary conditions in the spatial variable is considered. After formulating the problem in a geometric setting, the question of the…
We investigate gravity models emerging from nonholonomic (subjected to non-integrable constraints) Ricci flows. Considering generalizations of G. Perelman's entropy functionals, relativistic geometric flow equations, nonholonomic Ricci…
A geometric flow based in the Riemann-Christoffel curvature tensor that in two dimensions has some common features with the usual Ricci flow is presented. For $n$ dimensional spaces this new flow takes into account all the components of the…
We study gradient drift-diffusion processes on a probability simplex set with finite state Wasserstein metrics, namely finite state Wasserstein common noises. A fact is that the Kolmogorov transition equation of finite reversible Markov…
Some modification of the old version.In this note we give a proof of a result which is related to Perelman's theorem in Section 10.3 of the paper "The entropy formula for the Ricci flow and its geometric applications".
We study a new notion of Ricci curvature that applies to Markov chains on discrete spaces. This notion relies on geodesic convexity of the entropy and is analogous to the one introduced by Lott, Sturm, and Villani for geodesic measure…
We develop a stochastic target representation for Ricci flow and normalized Ricci flow on smooth, compact surfaces, analogous to Soner and Touzi's representation of mean curvature flow. We prove a verification/uniqueness theorem, and then…
The recent work of Morini-Oronzio-Spadaro and the third author shows that, in three dimensions, a flat-flow solution of the volume-preserving mean curvature flow that converges to a single ball, which is the case for instance when the…
In this work, we consider the solvability of the Fokker-Planck equation with both time-dependent drift and diffusion coefficients by means of the similarity method. By the introduction of the similarity variable, the Fokker-Planck equation…
This paper attempts to construct monotonic entropy functionals for four-dimensional Lorentzian spacetime under physical boundary conditions, as an extension of Perelman's monotonic entropy functionals constructed for three-dimensional…
We introduce the Feldman-Katok pseudometric (FK-pseudometric for short) for flows. We then provide a characterization of zero entropy loosely Bernoulli measures for continuous flows via the FK-pseudometric extending the result known for…
The Bakry-Emery Ricci tensor of a metric-measure space (M,g,e^{-f}dv_{g}) plays an important role in both geometric measure theory and the study of Hamilton's Ricci flow. Under a uniform positivity condition on this tensor and with bounded…
This is a revised version of our short note [arxiv.math.DG/0403065] where we discuss the monotonicity of the eigen-values of the Laplacian operator to the Ricci-Hamilton flow on a compact or a complete non-compact Riemannian manifold. We…
In this paper, we study curvature behavior at the first singular time of solution to the Ricci flow on a smooth, compact n-dimensional Riemannian manifold $M$, $\frac{\partial}{\partial t}g_{ij} = -2R_{ij}$ for $t\in [0,T)$. If the flow has…
