We indicate some formulas connecting Ricci flow and the Perelman entropy functional to Fisher information, differential entropy, and the quantum potential.
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".
This is the first of a series of papers on the long-time behavior of 3 dimensional Ricci flows with surgery. In this paper we first fix a notion of Ricci flows with surgery, which will be used in this and the following three papers. Then we…
We decribe and announce some results (joint with G. Besson, L. Bessieres, M. Boileau and J.Porti) about the geometry and topology of 3-manifolds. Most of the article is primarily intended as an introduction for nonexperts to geometrization…
We numerically calculate Perelman's entropy for a variety of canonical metrics on $\mathbb{CP}^{1}$-bundles over products of Fano K\"ahler-Einstein manifolds. The metrics investigated are Einstein metrics, K\"ahler-Ricci solitons and…
In this paper we study the Ricci flow on compact four-manifolds with positive isotropic curvature and with no essential incompressible space form. Our purpose is two-fold. One is to give a complete proof of Hamilton's classification theorem…
In recent years, there has seen much interest and increased research activities on Perelman's paper. Section one and two of this paper aim to establish Perelman's local non-collapsing result for the Ricci flow. This will provide a positive…
In this expository article, we introduce the topological ideas and context central to the Poincare Conjecture. Our account is intended for a general audience, providing intuitive definitions and spatial intuition whenever possible. We…
In this lecture notes, we aim at giving an introduction to the K\"ahler-Ricci flow (KRF) on Fano manifolds. It covers some of the developments of the KRF in its first twenty years (1984-2003), especially an essentially self-contained…
In this note, we want to establish several formulas about functionals along harmonic Ricci flow on surface with boundary
We present a monotonic expression for the Ricci flow, valid in all dimensions and without curvature assumptions. It is interpreted as an entropy for a certain canonical ensemble. Several geometric applications are given. In particular, (1)…
We apply an equivariant version of Perelman's Ricci flow with surgery to study smooth actions by finite groups on closed 3-manifolds. Our main result is that such actions on elliptic and hyperbolic 3-manifolds are conjugate to isometric…
In this survey we review Hamilton's entropy and Perelman's entropy, and provide motivations for these concepts. Then we review recent results on the logarithmic Sobolev inequality, the Sobolev inequalities and kappa-noncollapsing estimates…
In this paper, we first introduce the weighted forward reduced volume of Ricci flow. The weighted forward reduced volume, which related to expanders of Ricci flow, is well-defined on noncompact manifolds and monotone non-increasing under…
This is the second paper in a series of works devoted to nonholonomic Ricci flows. By imposing non-integrable (nonholonomic) constraints on the Ricci flows of Riemannian metrics we can model mutual transforms of generalized Finsler-Lagrange…
We give a survey on the Chern-Ricci flow, a parabolic flow of Hermitian metrics on complex manifolds. We emphasize open problems and new directions.
A three-dimensional closed orientable orbifold (with no bad suborbifolds) is known to have a geometric decomposition from work of Perelman along with earlier work of Boileau-Leeb-Porti and Cooper-Hodgson-Kerckhoff. We give a new, logically…
In this expository note, we study the second variation of Perelman's entropy on the space of Kahler metrics at a K\"ahler-Ricci soliton. We prove that the entropy is stable in the sense of variations. In particular, Perelman's entropy is…
In this paper, we are interested in conical structures of manifolds with respect to the Ricci flow and, in particular, we study them from the point of view of Perelman's functionals. In a first part, we study Perelman's $\lambda$ and $\nu$…
In this article, we establish a monotonicity formula of Hamilton type entropy along Ricci flow on compact surfaces with boundary. We also study the relation between our entropy functional and the $\mathcal{W}$-functional of Perelman type.
