We study the properties of Modified Riemann extensions evolving under Ricci flow. We obtain the necessary and sufficient condition for modified Riemann extension under Ricci flow to stay as modified Riemann extension. We also discuss the…
The proof given in the paper was incomplete due to an omission in the proof of Lemma 2. A corrected and improved version of the paper is in arXiv:0902.2486.
We prove three conjectures, related to the paperfolding sequence, in a recent paper [arXiv:2005.04066] of P. Barry.
In this paper we prove the existence of Type II singularities for the Ricci flow on $S^{n+1}$ for all $n\geq 2$.
We prove sharp lower bounds for eigenvalues of the drift Laplacian for a modified Ricci flow. The modified Ricci flow is a system of coupled equations for a metric and weighted volume that plays an important role in Ricci flow. We will also…
We announce a new proof of the uniform estimate on the curvature of solutions to the Ricci flow on a compact K\"ahler manifold $M^n$ with positive bisectional curvature. In contrast to the recent work of X. Chen and G. Tian, our proof of…
$\mathscr{W}$-entropy and reduced volume for the Ricci flow were introduced by Perelman, which had proved their importance in the study of the Ricci flow. L. Ni studied the analogous concepts for the linear heat equation on the static…
In this note, a modified K\"ahler-Ricci flow is introduced and studied. The main point is to show the flexibility of K\"ahler-Ricci flow and summarize some useful techniques.
We give a new proof of the Smale conjecture for $\mathbb{RP}^3$ and all lens spaces using minimal surfaces and min-max theory. For $\mathbb{RP}^3$, the conjecture was first proved in 2019 by Bamler-Kleiner using Ricci flow.
The main objective of this thesis is the study of the evolution under the Ricci flow of surfaces with singularities of cone type. A second objective, emerged from the techniques we use, is the study of families of Ricci flow solitons in…
In this paper, we study the backward Ricci flow on locally homogeneous 3-manifolds. We describe the long time behavior and show that, typically and after a proper re-scaling, there is convergence to a sub-Riemannian geometry. A similar…
In this paper we investigate a kind of generalized Ricci flow which possesses a gradient form. We study the monotonicity of the given function under the generalized Ricci flow and prove that the related system of partial differential…
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,…
In this paper, we study the change of the ADM mass of an ALE space along the Ricci flow. Thus we first show that the ALE property is preserved under the Ricci flow. Then, we show that the mass is invariant under the flow in dimension three…
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…
In this note, we give a diffeomorphism (to $\mathbb{R}^n$) criterion via long-time Ricci flow and show some applications. In particular, we provide an affirmative answer that the conclusion in [Manifolds with small curvature concentration,…
This note gives an informal overview of the proof in our paper "Borel Conjecture and Dual Borel Conjecture", see arXiv:1105.0823.
In this paper, the author discusses the eigenvalues and entropies under the harmonic-Ricci flow, which is the Ricci flow coupled with the harmonic map flow. We give an alternative proof of results for compact steady and expanding…
We give a brief survey of Hamilton's program for 3-manifolds as an approach toward Thurston's Geometrization Conjectre.
By means of a Kaluza-Klein type argument we show that the Perelman's F-functional is the Einstein-Hilbert action in a space with extra ``phantom'' dimensions. In this way, we try to interpret some remarks of Perelman in the introduction and…
